A.S. Lewis is a 2nd-year, Creative Writing Ph.D. student at the University of Southern Mississippi. She is writer of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Lewis’ first publication came at the young age of five, in her elementary school’s newspaper, but she was soon published nationally, at age 11, in an issue of Highlights Magazine for a poem about a pet cat she never had but hoped to persuade her parents to get. After a long publication lapse called adulthood, Lewis contributed a chapter to the non-fiction book Energy Democracy in 2017. Since then, she has a published book review on Up the Staircase Quarterly, and she has become a regular reviewer for the website Strange Horizons.
