Laken Brooks is a writer and freelance editor from rural Appalachia. She's the granddaughter of a water-witcher and a huge fan of historic places and bookstores.
When she's not lesson planning or editing, Laken might be hanging out with her Fulbright or graduate school colleagues, writing for sites like Entropy and Lambda Literary, or eating apple peelings.
Follow her on Twitter and LinkedIn and feel free to ask her how she was almost abducted by a cult while on a writing retreat in Ireland.
