Megan Diedericks, Social chronicler of minor disturbances

Megan writes poetry and fiction, everything from meek to macabre can be found between the lines. Her poetry explores themes of mental health and self-reflection; when they’re not personal, her poems are speculative in nature. She loves everything fantastical and fanged!

*Disclaimer: many of the names you'll see above have been published by Foofaraw before joining or volunteering to help behind-the-scenes. At the time of writing this, none have been published while "on staff", but if the time does come, we will clearly label them. We do not prohibit staff from submitting, but their submissions go through twice as many blind readers before being considered by the editor-in-chief.
