Sometimes bad things happen to the best people of all. In this case, the bad thing that happened was that we, the occasionally forgetful but always well-meaning editors of Washington Square, forgot to include a few contributor bios in our latest issue.
Here’s what you need to know about the best people of all. And if you could buy Issue 28, read their work, diss our copy-editing skills at your local bar, and then google the shit out of these brilliant folks, well, that would be greatly appreciated.
Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for mini-interviews with these writers.
