Isha Mullapudi
Founder, Editor-In-Chief
Isha Mullapudi is a South Florida-based obsessive reader addicted to writing, her 0.7 black ink Muji pens, and Donna Tartt. When she is not scribbling away in random notebooks, reading with terrible posture on her much-loved bed, tutoring in math, or chattering about her travel dreams, you can find her weightlifting or working on her multimedia publication, The Looking Glass Review. Isha draws her inspiration and adores delving into the literature by her favorite writers! Isha enjoys mythology, stories, and lately has been loving photography. A couple of her favorite films (due to her slightly pretentious nature, she uses the word film rather than movie) are La La Land and Inception. Her current favorite TV shows are One Day and Severance. She has work published in daughterzine. Always feel free to reach out to her through her email, ishamullapudi17@gmail.com, or DM her on her Instagram, @ishamullapudi. She has won both Silver and Gold Scholastic Keys.
Zoe Chin
Zoe is a synesthete who loves to let her mind flow creatively. She likes to sing, dance, study fashion, collect pins for her tote bags, watch musicals, and so much more. When her nose isn’t buried in a book, you can probably find her weightlifting or rehearsing for a show. She always has her camera on her, prepared to take pictures of anything and everything - although, her favorite subject is her dog named Muffin. Listening to music is an experience unmatched by anything else because of her chromesthesia (a form of synesthesia that causes sound to involuntarily evoke an experience of colors, shapes, and movements). Her favorite artists are Lana Del Rey and Sublime; however, she likes to listen to a variety of music genres. Her favorite movies are “Almost Famous”, “Moonrise Kingdom”, and the “Terrifier” trilogy; and her favorite books are “The Secret History” - written by Donna Tartt, and “Bunny” - written by Mona Awad. You can reach Zoe by emailing her at zoec16106@gmail.com, or sending her a DM on Instagram @zoe.likes.cookies.

Penelope listens to anything rock, but particularly enjoys David Bowie, My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil, and The Smiths.
