Meet the Editors

Kidlit novelist and flash fiction fanatic, Melissa Rotert fell in love with short fiction as a way of pushing her craft and exploring new ideas. She wanted to build a space where other writers could build community through literature as they would through conversation. With a shared passion, Melissa and Kristin created Epistemic Literary.

Kristin Houlihan stumbled into poetry as a means of coping with major life and health changes and has since embraced the form’s ability to bend itself to individual truths. Her desire to hear and showcase these truths through thought-provoking and beautiful writing led her to partner with Melissa to create Epistemic Literary. Kristin cannot wait to glimpse your heart through your words!

Long before she’d ever heard the term Creative Nonfiction, Genalea began processing life experience through her writing. In recent years she’s developed a love for flash fiction and flash CNF, finding a unique beauty in the brevity.

Genalea understands the vulnerability involved in sharing our stories, and she is both excited to read your submissions, and honored to be part of your journey.
