Amber Bouman: Amber used to get in trouble for reading books during
class, and has been writing short stories and poems for as long as she
can remember. She earned a B.A. in Creative Writing from San Francisco
State University in 2003 and has been performing at the 16th & Mission
open mic for almost three years. She spends her days writing the On Your
Side column for PC World and spends her nights yelling about t.v. shows.
The first book that made her cry was Bridge to Teribethia and when she
grows up she wants to be Edna St.Vincent Millay.

Bonnie Nobile: When other kids were playing with blocks, Bonnie was
playing with words. When the other kids were swinging off the jungle gym
bonnie was swinging some verse. Armed with a B.A. in English (emphasis
in Creative Writing with a concentration in Poetry) from San Francisco
State University, Bonnie has been working a slew of crappy retail jobs to
support what she loves - writing and performing Poetry. She has been
living in San Francisco for the past 7 years and is currently interning
for Manic D Press!
