Issaquah Press

My summer internship at The Issaquah Press in 2013 gave me a good start in writing features and helped me find a writing workflow that worked for me. The Issaquah Press closed their doors in 2017 and their website archives are no longer available. I have linked some of my stories through The Wayback Machine website, where they can still be read.
