His work has appeared in ​The Penn Review, The Mid-American Review, The Los Angeles Review, Quarterly West, Vestal Review, UCLA's Westwind, Flash Fiction Magazine, XRAY, and elsewhere, and has been nominated for inclusion in Best Microfiction 2024. He loves art. He loves short stories. He loves poetry. He loves the planet. He loves not having time. That last one's a lie, but here we are.

Jase Whitman is the graphic designer for the Ark Review. He works on creating the cover art for the different volumes. Hiking and camping are two things he dearly enjoys, as it allows him to have a deeper connection with the world around him whilst also giving him and his friends an exhilarating adventure. He's excited to continue providing service to these wonderful writers, and he hopes that he can contribute as best he can to help show how important our environment is!

Gianna Ripa serves as an editor for Ark Review.

Chloe Chen is a student at Crystal Springs Uplands School in Hillsborough, CA. She's never been published, but she loves nothing more than tackling a complex piece of poetry or Shakespeare and finding her voice through literary analysis. Of course, she functions on matcha lattes and a warm cup of Earl Grey in the mornings and is a firm believer that tea is superior to coffee. 

Hafsa Hina serves as an editor for Ark Review. 

Esha Bansiya loves reading, and you can always find her with a book in her hand. The power of writing is underappreciated, and she wants to use the voice she has to make a difference in her community!
