Meet Editors

Jeremiah Aziz is a middle child who enjoys reading books, as they expand his vocabulary. He also enjoys chess because he likes to feel smart and fit in with the cool kids. His favorite drink is boba tea, which he generally gets at Muse Fusion + Sushi. He is writing about librarians in this magazine, focusing on their daily jobs and responsibilities. After he graduates from LASA High School, Jeremiah plans to become a software engineer.

In this magazine, Mia Puente, a freshman at LASA High School, hopes to get a peek into the mind of an author and how authors come up with their stories. In her free time, she likes to read books, listen to music, and dance. She’s the oldest of four, and she likes to eat sushi. After she graduates, she plans to go to college and study forensic sciences. She likes to watch horror movies when she has the time, which, being a LASA student, isn’t nearly often enough.

Phoebe Herbert wrote an article for this magazine about bookstores and how they build communities. She is a freshman bookworm at LASA High School and proud Greek mythology nerd. While not at school, she likes sewing costumes. Her current project is teaching herself to knit and embroider. Phoebe is happy to say that she is becoming quite good at making little flowers. After she graduates, Phoebe is planning to go to college and study genetic sciences.

Alyssa Wang, a freshman at LASA High School, is creating a feature story about book clubs, particularly those in Austin. She got into this project because she likes to read and immerse herself in stories. She loves good world-building and complex characters. Once she graduates, she plans on becoming a doctor, but still isn’t too sure about her future. She absolutely hates slow internet, which makes her want to smash her laptop every time she Googles something. Thankfully, there have not been any destroyed laptops so far.
