We are excited to announce our new prose editors Elizabeth Brown (Fiction) and Sara Fredman (Nonfiction). Both editors will be great additions to the december team. We’d also like to thank Sara Ross who was our prose editor in 2017/2018. She has moved on to new endeavors and will be missed.

Elizabeth K. Brown holds an MFA in Writing from Washington University in St. Louis. Her work has been published in Brevity magazine, Essay Daily, Edible Iowa River Valley and Edible Berkshires magazines. She is a contributor to They Said: A Multi-Genre Anthology of Contemporary Collaborative Writing (Black Lawrence Press, 2018). Originally from southeast Iowa, Brown is a lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis. She is currently at work on a three-act family drama, among other things.

Sara Fredman is a St. Louis-based freelance writer. She received her PhD in medieval English literature from WashU in 2017. Her essays have appeared in Longreads, The Rumpus, Tablet, and Lilith.
