In 1967, a group of students attending Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, had the unfortunate idea of starting a newspaper. Their newspaper eventually evolved into that mutant red-headed stepchild of print media, the literary journal. And as Wright State continues to grow and evolve, so too does this thing called Nexus. In its current incarnation, Nexus is an electronic digest of fiction and poetry. One you should certainly read, and perhaps even one to which you should submit.
Aaron Larson - Editor-In-Chief
Aaron is a senior in Creative Writing at Wright State. He plans to go on to an MFA somewhere in America. He reads books in a sort or rotation, making sure to include classical canon, genre, graphic novels, poetry, and non-fiction in his personal library. Should he contradict himself, that is fine; he contradicts himself. He is large and contains multitudes.
Douglas F. Warrick - Assistant Editor
Doug has published four short stories in the horror and science fiction genres and is co-editing an anthology of horror stories inspired by Nick Cave songs (due out from PS Publishing in 2010). He adores genre stories with literary leanings, and literary stories written by genre addicts. He is not terribly tollerant of pedestrian poetry, although he adores all avenues of alliteration. If you have read books by Robert McCammon, Harlan Ellison, Thomas Ligotti, Irving Welsh, Hunter S. Thompson, Harry Crews, and/or Flannery O'Connor... Congratulations! You've read some of the same books he has!
Max D. Lake - Copy Editor
Max is a double major in Psychology and English focusing on creative writing at Wright State. He has been writing since childhood and has been an editor in one form or another, in print and online, for most of his adult life. He had articles and photos published in Nintendo Gamer magazine in Australia, for whom he was an American correspondent for a time. Max enjoys literary fiction but is increasingly embracing genre fiction; he also is a hardcore comics enthusiast and loves really good poetry when he can find it. Max is terrified of zombies, grocery stores, and zombies in grocery stores.
