BIOS
Lori Jakiela is the author of two memoirs, The Bridge to Take When Things Get Serious (C&R Press May 2013), and Miss New York Has Everything (Hachette 2006), as well as the poetry collection Spot the Terrorist (Turning Point 2012). She also has published three chapbooks of poetry—The Regulars (Liquid Paper Press, 2001); Red Eye (Pudding House, 2010); and The Mill Hunk's Daughter Meets the Queen of Sky (Finishing Line, 2011). Her essays and op-eds have been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Tribune Review, Pittsburgh Quarterly, Tears in the Fence (U.K.) and elsewhere. Her poems have been published in 5 AM, Chiron Review, Nerve Cowboy, Slipstream and more. She is an associate professor of English at The University of Pittsburgh-Greensburg and teaches in the low- and full-residency MFA in Creative Writing programs at Chatham University.

Adam Matcho is an obituary writer for the Tribune-Review. His poetry collection, Six Dollars an Hour: Confessions of a Gemini Writer, won the 2011 Nerve Cowboy Chapbook Contest and his essay collection, The Novelty Essays, was published in 2013 by WPA Press. His work has appeared in The New Yinzer, Pittsburgh City Paper, Chiron Review, Pear Noir! and other places.

Stephanie Brea has slung coffee, writtten about inventions and worked for a company that built museum exhibits. This means she likes her espresso doubled, is most likely responsible for some of the products pitched on late night infomercials and can spell archaeopteryx without the need for spell check. She is a part-time copy editor and facilitates creative writing workshops for local schools and organizations. Her work has been published in Pear Noir!, The Legendary, Nerve Cowboy and the Pittsburgh City Paper.
