Editorial Assistant Hall of Fame
Monte Remer (May 2025 – August 2025)
Monte Remer is a writer from the Pacific Northwest. He tells stories of strange happenings and macabre occurrences, both unbecoming of the kind and simple hippie that he is. His work has appeared in parABnormal Magazine, Mythaxis Magazine, and the Furrow Literary Journal. Somewhere in the woods, his aggressive typing on old keyboards can be heard as the dust rises out of them like smoke from a fresh fire.

Jack Conway is a writer from Portland, Oregon who specializes in fantasy and historical fiction. He spends his time poring over maps, either real or fantastical, and he has published a fantasy-adventure novel, The Prince of Sikrath. When he’s not writing, you might find him setting up a new board game or reading by the window on a rainy day.
