Sophia Indelicato (she/her)
Editor-in-Chief
Sophia Indelicato is a writer, filmmaker, musician, and biology enthusiast from St. Louis, MO. Her work has appeared in A Moment Zine, and she is a co-creative director, writer, and script coordinator at Apt. 3 Productions.
Sophia is (clearly) one of Lewis Thomas's biggest fans, though she loves the works of Annie Dillard and Rachel Carson as well. She continues to envision a world where writers can be involved in the conversation about the natural world, and scientists continue sharing the truth with the common man.
Her favorite hobbies include forcing her friends and family to go herping with her, plotting how to save the world with the power of creativity, and looking at bugs. One of her favorite things about nature is the way toads hop.
Bethany Cutkomp (she/her)
Managing Editor
Bethany Cutkomp is a Best of the Net nominated writer of surreal and existential fiction from St. Louis, MO. Although she's drawn to adventure beyond her home state, the familiar pull of the Midwest and its quirks calls her home. Her work appears in Stanchion, trampset, HAD, Ghost Parachute, Exposed Bone, The Hooghly Review, and more.
Bethany is especially fond of writing that connects the self with the natural world, such as works from Aimee Nezhukumatathil and Patrik Svensson. Through creative expression, she hopes to spread concern and curiosity toward studying and protecting the environment.
She enjoys stargazing, hiking three times longer than trailheads report, and snatching up small critters with her bare hands. Her favorite thing about nature is the overlap of characteristics regarding deep space and deep sea.
