Amelia Jarrett, Co-Features Editor

Hi! My name is Amelia Jarrett. I am a sophomore at WA and the features editor for the Ghostwriter. I am really excited about this opportunity because I love creative writing, so this is a new way for me to branch out. Very rarely will you find me without a book in hand or a sketchbook in my bag. If I am not reading, then I can usually be found curled up on my couch watching Doctor Who or Community. Despite the challenges, I am really excited for the rest of this year!
