Meet Drew Jones, a recent ECL graduate that has found meaningful ways to incorporate his skills as an English major into his career as an insurance agent.

Sophomore Victoria Wlosok will be publishing her debut novel in 2023. “How to Find a Missing Girl,” is a sapphic YA thriller that follows amateur teenage detective Iris Blackthorn as she investigates the disappearance of her cheerleader ex-girlfriend—who also happens to be the creator of a notorious local true-crime podcast about Iris’s missing older sister.

Meet Denise Stroud, who recently won the spring 2022 Bland Simpson writing award!

Meet Chelsea Deitelzweig, a pre-med English major and Morehead-Cain Scholar!

Congratulations to all the ECL seniors who completed an Honors Thesis in the Department this year!

“I like writing about things that are actually happening in the world that I feel are relevant. Nonfiction can actually be super interesting if you tell the story the right way.”
