At Lawrenceville, Claire organizes readings and writing workshops. You'll find her in KAC's Studio II, the McClellan house, and pop basement. She calls Princeton, NJ, home. Her passions include walks on sunny days, browsing the library's freecycle shelf, and long talks with friends. 

Sofia Carlisi is a sophomore from Hamilton, New Jersey. Her head is full of stories, both the ones she reads and the ones she writes. She spends her time reorganizing her bookshelves, crying over fictional characters, and listening to playlists inspired by her favorite books. She is not only an avid reader, but Sofia also hopes to one day see her name on the shelves of Barnes & Noble. When Sofia is not reading or writing, she could probably be found thrifting for fabulous porcelain dishes and shopping for the most brightly colored pants she can find.

Thalia is a mixed-race artist living in New Jersey with a heart in Queens, NY. She is diving back into creative writing after a year's strong focus on visual art. Her mind is often caught on many different things: her friends, random artistic interpretations of her world, her hair, a particular concept brought up in a long talk with her brother, her schoolwork...

Luke is a junior whose poems have been published and accepted in several publications and camps, including the Juniper Institute for Young Writers and the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. He strives to write a poem every week.

Chiedza is a South African-Zimbabwean writer and is currently a sophomore in high school. She loves writing  essays, screenplays, and has started dabbling in poetry. Outside of creative writing, she enjoys engaging with media critically and making music, as well as making short films.  

Sofia is a writer, artist, and avid music-listener from California. When she’s at home she loves taking walks on the beach and just hanging out by the ocean. Her best friends are her three year old cat and her ten year old brother, making quite a dynamic trio. Her family and friends serve as her muses and strongly influence her art and writing, ever-present though she lives 3000 miles away from them during the school year.
