This blog is part of my summer class at the University of Northern Colorado, "Blogging for Journalists." In this blog, I'll be analyzing the culture surrounding fantasy literature - why it's popular, who reads and writes it, etc. - and revealing some of the effects fantasy, as a movement, has on modern society.
In my three weekly posts, you can expect interviews with authors and editors, analyses of shows and books you might just be familiar with and some examples of fantasy fan culture.
In addition to being a fantasy writer and fan myself, I am an associate editor for a romance publisher, the copy editor for The Mirror and the editor in chief of The Claw Magazine here at UNC. I'll be graduating with a bachelor's in news-editorial journalism in the spring. I'm a music minor and play the saxophone in the UNC wind ensemble: Colorado's premier college band.
In my free time, I like to read and write! Who knew? I also love to cook and experiment with foods. You can find my personal blog on both those subjects, Eat Your Words, on Wordpress.

Awnna! I have never gotten into fantasy literature before, I've only read the first of the Harry Potter books. I'm hoping to get some recommendations for summer reading from your blog. I recently met a guy who wrote a fantasy novel and ended up winning a competition with it and is now published. And he's only 21! It's definitely taking the world of literature by storm. I'm looking forward to seeing what your perspective is on the whole thing!
