Mia has been a storyteller since she could string a sentence together and a writer since she learned how to pick up a pen. She’s gone through many phases of literary aspirations throughout her life, the journalistic one taking place at the age of ten, during which she lamented that the small Michigan town of 20,000 she lived in did not have enough crime to investigate and report on. Mia writes a column for The Best Years of The Southeast Missourian, and is a contributor and editor of the Rust Media project Here, a literary magazine for teens in the Southeast Missouri region. She’s impressively unathletic, but has somehow kept up a competitive and classical dancing career for over 15 years. When she’s not pushing off writing until the absolute last minute before the deadline, Mia is probably reading. Her 2021 Goodreads goal was 100 books, which she absolutely didn’t meet. She will spend most of her free time this year working towards her 2022 goal, which is another ill-fated 100 books. Mia plans to get a  bachelor’s degrees in Creative Writing and Political Science, and eventually find a job where someone will pay her to write something—she’s not picky.
