Our Editing Team
At Lux, our team is the backbone of each publication. Each editor is vital to making Lux's goals a reality. Below is our amazing 2022-23 editing team.

Assistant Editor-in-Chief
About the editor:
Anne (She/her) is a senior at ASU studying English with a Creative Writing concentration. She comes from a tiny town in upstate New York where she became well acquainted with the cold before moving to the complete opposite climate to attend ASU. After graduation, she plans to move abroad to potentially pursue her master's degree as well as become a literary agent representing writers whose voices have been marginalized and presenting stories that need to be told. Anne hopes to further her connections with other writers and communities by participating with Lux Creative Review and she cannot wait to see the submissions for this year! In her free time, she likes to watch cat videos and animated shows, drink an absurd amount of coffee, play video games with pretty art and travel whenever and wherever she can!
