Quirk 2024 Editorial Team


Special Thanks

The editorial team wishes to recognize the support by all the special people at UIW, particularly key UIW faculty and administrators. Thanks to Dr. Javier Clavere, Dean of the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences, and to Dr. Tanja Stampfl and Dr. James Baker, English Department Co-Chairs, without whom Quirk and all the wonderful projects we undertake would not be possible. We would also like to thank Samantha Sanchez and her team at OneTouchPoint for their collaborative efforts with the Quirk editorial team and working towards making this journal a success. We also thank the brave writers, artists, and creators all across the country willing to put themselves out there to send us such wonderful work.
