Biographies de l'auteur-e

  • Emily Fevens

    Emily Fevens graduated from Mount Saint Vincent University in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours, majoring in English with a minor in Writing. She has a keen interest in the modernist period (c. 1900–1940)—particularly in Imagist poetry and Cubist painting—which she explored in her Honours thesis. Emily currently works in her hometown as a hotel clerk, where she has the opportunity to meet visitors from around the world. Her goal is to become an editor, and she has worked with Atlantis since October 2025 as a copyediting intern, a student in a directed study, and as a copyeditor and editorial assistant. She plans to start freelance editing, eventually get her certification from the Editor’s Association of Canada, and hopes to someday work for a publishing house as an editor for book manuscripts.
