Join us in welcoming some new members to the Midwestern Gothic team: Emily Paull and Kayla Silverstein!

Emily and Kayla are two of the University of Michigan’s best and brightest, and they’ll be interning with us this summer, helping us promote our mission and learning a bit about the inner workings of a literary journal along the way. We’re thrilled to have them on board.

Kayla Silverstein will be going on her fourth year of undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan in fall 2013 and is pursuing multiple degrees in English, Creative Writing, and French. Born in Miami but raised in Michigan, the Midwest is where she calls home. At UM, she works as a paid blogger for Arts at Michigan, reviewing performances around campus. She is also an intern at the University Musical Society in Ann Arbor and an active participant in the UM Women’s Glee Club.

Emily Paull is a student at the University of Michigan, pursuing a degree in English and French, as well as a Secondary Teacher certification. She is a native Michigander from the west side of the state who enjoys writing fiction and playing the cello.
