Howdy-do! I'm John, and above all, I’m a writer.Throughout my time at Georgia Tech, I participated in three magazines: North Avenue Review (as Editor-in-Chief and Content Editor), Erato (as Staff Member), and The Atlanta Archivist (as Staff Member).Since then, I have continued to write and pursue various literary opportunities. Linked in the "work" section is my portfolio, which includes 30+ pieces published across 10+ various publications and ranges widely from poetry and think-pieces to interviews and compilations. In Fall 2024, I plan to launch The Long Knuckle, an online publication for niche insights, cultural musings, and prickly humor.When I’m not focused on The Long Knuckle, I make the occasional zine and co-produce The Love Pomes, where I curate, discuss, and share fruit-named bands.To reach out, please use the contact form.
