editor-in-chief
macie
pronouns: they/them
Hi! I'm Macie and I'm an RC Junior studying creative writing and linguistics with a minor in community action and social change. When I'm not in class, you can find me at my job with the Spectrum Center, talking about my dog, tucked away somewhere writing, or goofing off with my partner in crime/best friend/managing editor, Elena. Feel free to ask me about my many, very carefully curated Spotify playlists (they are my greatest source of pride.)

maddie
art editor
pronouns: she/her
Hi everyone! My name is Maddie Wood and I'm a sophomore studying International Studies and Spanish. If I'm not curled up reading- usually a historical fiction book- you can find me attending the football games every weekend or going for walks in the Arb! I love everything artsy: my favorite art forms are probably scrapbooking/collaging and trying (failing) to knit. I'm really excited to be the Art Editor this year!
prose editor
paris
pronouns: they/she
I’m an English major with a Creative Writing capstone specializing in fiction. Any hobbies outside of reading and writing would be superfluous. My favorite stories both to create and to witness are humorous, devastating, and character-driven. Reviews and quarterlies of every variety line my shelves, including several editions of the Paris Review, which they named after yours truly in 1927. Ask me where I was in France in the third century B.C.!

maureen
poetry editor
pronouns: she/her
Hi! I’m Maureen, and I’m the poetry editor! I’m a sophomore studying English with a minor in Spanish. When I’m not in RC Review, you can find me working as a barista, hanging out with College Democrats, reading, writing, or doing the NYT mini crossword (my best time is 20 seconds). My favorite poet is Mary Oliver, and my favorite author is Kurt Vonnegut. Talk to me about all things poetry and creative writing!

Hey everyone!! My name is Laura, I am an RC sophomore and the layout editor for the RCR this year. I am hoping to double major in Social Theory and Practice as well as Italian studies. Every Saturday morning you can find me at the farmer’s market down in Kerrytown perusing the booths with all the plants!

alina
grammar editor
pronouns: they/she
Hello! My name is Alina and I'm a sophomore studying Creative Writing & Literature. My favorite genres to write are CNF, magic realism, and horror. When I have free time, I'm hiding away in the Arb reading and drawing, watching movies with my friends, or spending way too much money at bookstores. I also love cuddling with my plethora of frog stuffed animals.

addison
PR editor
pronouns: she/her
Hi all! I’m Addison Noffsinger, and I’m a sophomore majoring in creative writing and literature right here at the RC, plus, I don’t know, maybe one or three minors, who’s to say? I’ll be your PR Editor this year, so if you need me I’m sure I’ll be reading, writing, or crocheting somewhere around East Quad and/or in a cutesy little nook. Ask me about my earring collection please! I need to word vomit constantly!
