Welcome, Leah and Megan!

Indigo Editing welcomes the two most recent additions to our team, Leah Gibson-Blackfeather as our marketing and editorial assistant and Megan Wellman as our editorial assistant.

Leah has had an obsessive passion for words since she was very young; she is prone to three a.m. breakouts of creativity which cause her to lose valuable sleep. She is currently a staff writer/proofreader for her school's liberal publication and in the process of developing a freelance writing and editing career to slide into after graduating next spring. Leah has recently become involved in Ooligan Press, which has led to her a disastrous addiction to the smell, feel, and general presentation of books; it has all gone downhill from there. She can now be found in the aisles of Powell's blue room on any given day, madly molesting the spines of books.

Megan’s love for words began underneath the branches of her grandparents’ oak tree, where she devoured book after book. A handful of years later, Megan earned her BA in English literature from Western Washington University. After graduation she decided to turn her obsession with reading into a career and began working as an editorial assistant at Illumination Arts Publishing Company in Bellevue, Washington. Currently, Megan is a graduate student in the publishing program at Portland State University. She will graduate this fall. Although her literary tastes have changed from The Very Hungry Caterpillar to Jane Eyre, Megan still visits the oak tree from time to time.

Welcome, Caleb!

Indigo Editing welcomes Caleb Murray as our editorial assistant this quarter. Caleb will be reviewing submissions for the Ink-Filled Page, offering editorial insight, and adding to our book reviews.

Caleb was raised in Bozeman, Montana, and attended Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, where he studied creative writing and philosophy. He spent the spring semester of 2007 at the National University of Ireland, Galway. He lives and writes in Portland.

What Caleb doesn't say about himself in the above bio, though, is that he is working on a novel that started as his senior thesis project at Linfield and that he has experience working with the Camas annual literary journal.

Welcome!
