We are extremely excited to welcome Marie Lance to our staff as the Social Media Manager in the U.S.! Marie has been a contributor to the Same in the past. You can follow the links to read her poems “My Ego” from Issue 5.2  and “To My Someday Maybe but Probably Never Mother-in-Law” from Issue 11.2. I know you will enjoy her work!

Marie is a 2017 graduate of Denison University where she earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Chemistry, learned she didn’t want to do research, and discovered a love for Shakespeare. Marie is a self-described “concrete thinker” and “recovering poetry hater.” She found her way to writing as a way to express her grief after her Dad died in November of 2016. Her home is in Delaware, Ohio where she is a part time student, part time lab instructor, part time barista, and full time giraffe enthusiast. She hopes to someday be a corgi mom and small business owner. You can find her on the internet on Twitter @LadyMarieWrites on Instagram @lady.marie.writes and on her website.

We are so excited to welcome Marie to the team, and we look forward to working together with her to create and promote a quality journal!
