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.
Max D. Lake - Editor-In-Chief
Previously the Copy Editor of Nexus during the 2008-2009 year, 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 has recently completed a compilation of short stories for a English Departmental Honors project, and hopes to start submitting some of these stories for publication soon. He 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 still terrified of zombies, but no longer fears grocery stores; he just hates them.
Lindsay Thomas - Assistant Editor
Lindsay is a senior at Wright State, majoring in English with a professional and technical writing concentration, and minoring in anthropology. She has been published from Del Rio, Texas (Border Eagle, Del Rio LIVE!), to Edinburgh, Scotland (The Skinny), and in between (Skywrighter, The Fogdog Review). Lindsay thinks major figures in various professions should have their own trading cards, like baseball players. She will trade you two pristine James Joyces and a Flannery O'Connor for your rookie Eudora Welty and your Harper Lee special edition.
