Hi! My name is Estella and I am a freshman staff writer for the Ghostwriter this year. I love literature of all kinds, so I am super excited to be taking part in the WA Ghostwriter! In the times that I am not reading or writing, you can likely find me flailing my arms in the pool and trying to beat the people next to me who are also flailing their arms or with art supplies in my hand. I can’t wait to see where this year takes us!
