MEGHAN MALONEY-VINZ

EDITOR

Meghan Maloney-Vinz was a distinguished multi-sport athlete from a small Wisconsin town. When glory days gave way to reality, she traded her cleats, ball, and racket, for poetry and parenting. Since receiving her MFA from Hamline University in 2007, Maloney-Vinz has managed several literary journals including Water~Stone, and Runestone Review(s) and a small book arts press (broadcraft press). Though her writing muscles need daily coaxing, her spiral is still pretty solid, even on demand.

She rarely blesses the world with her tweets, but you can follow her on Twitter HERE.

 

CARLEE TRESSEL

EDITOR

Carlee Tressel is a player, watcher, teacher, daughter, and writer of sports.

Several years and creative projects later – including a book about the GOAT of the cold-rolled steel industry – she is honored to be the newest editor for the Under Review. Alongside her bookish bachelor farmer, Carlee writes and raises corn & kids in rural Indiana.
