MEET THE EDITORS!
KIM BUSSEY
Kim Bussey was born and raised in Ohio, which makes her a confirmed Buckeye and hard to reach during an OSU football game. The eldest in our family of editors, she won’t confess to any dates regarding college graduation or number of years spent as an editor or writer, but she has taught courses in flash fiction, self-editing, and social media promotion. She will admit to having a passion for all genres of flash and often recommends to her editing clients to practice micro-flash as a means of keeping their own editing skills sharp. Kim’s stories have been published in numerous print and on-line magazines. She’s currently working on her first novel.

This need to help not only herself but other writers lead Anisa to create Writer’s Carnival, an online community for writers, and its sister site, Reader's Carnival, a site for avid readers.
