Alexandra Gipson

Writer & Storyteller

United States

From a young age, I have been a strong believer in the power of the written word. I recently graduated from Seton Hill University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English -- Creative Writing. My short stories and poems have been published or are forthcoming in various literary magazines, such as Buck Off! Magazine, Sirens Call Publications, and Parhelion Literary Magazine. As a marketing/communications intern for the Greensburg Community Development Corporation and Seton Hill University's Marketing Department, my professional writing has been published in newsletters and on websites. As a former creative writing/journalist intern for Aiken House of Pittsburgh, PA, I wrote blog posts for four clients: Boosted, GoShadow, Innovu, and Wakim, DDS.
