Mark Figlozzi
Co-founder, Publisher
Mark is a writer and creative director based on the west coast. He majored in creative writing at Oberlin, studied screenwriting in Hollywood, and runs a marketing and design agency in Seattle.
Mark spends his days coaxing amazing work from talented creators. His favorite writing wisdom is that every single page of a novel has to sell you on reading the page that comes after it.
He’s an optimist, who believes great writing will always find readers if given a chance -- he’s also a driven perfectionist who knows everything counts.
