Mia LaBianca, Summer Intern

School: Vassar College
Majors: English
Favorite Book: Monstrous by MarcyKate Connolly

Reading has had a huge impact on my life. From a very early age, I was a big reader, and spent almost all of my free time reading as many books as I could. Reading so many books was what inspired me to start telling bedtime stories to my little sister, which in turn was what got me into writing my own stories. It is because of my love for reading that I am an English major now, and it is because of my love for reading that I became interested in creative writing.
