Meet the showcase and magazine teams!
Jo Rawnsley
Hi, I'm Jo! I'm doing a masters in English and Creative Writing. This is my second year as part of the team. I'm an organiser on the showcase team. I absolutely loved organising and hosting last winter's showcase, 'Masquerade' so I jumped at the chance of being involved again!
Jack Fabris
Hi, I'm Jack! I'm studying Creative Writing and Film Studies and I'm in my first year. I'm one of the PR officers on the showcase team. I help run the teams social media accounts!
Melissa Bowles
Hi I'm Melissa. I'm an editor on the showcase team and in my second year of studying English and Creative Writing at Hull. I love horror, fan fiction and fantasy!

Hi I'm Robin (not pictured), an integral member of our tech support. I'm in my second year of Creative Writing and Film Studies. I'm an advocate for lgbtq+ representation in literature and I write mostly crime fiction and superhero prose.
My cat is called Jar Jar Binks, and she's a very good girl.
Kelly Chin
Hey all, I’m Kelly and I'm in my second year of Creative Writing and Film Studies. I’m in charge of tech support and communications in the HU Writes Magazine team. My passion lies in musical theatre and you can catch me in a singing or dance class at 3am. Surprisingly my neighbours have not made any complaints… yet.
Lily Abdo
I'm an undergraduate student who enjoys all things creative, and I look forward to helping to create a magazine that many of you will read!
Antonin Casset
Hey y'all, I'm Antonin, tech support for the Showcase. I'm mostly funny, I'm nice (no one in the team's ever hit me yet, but then, I'm French, they probably don't understand me). I hope to seeing all your little names (or dare I say... faces) for the showcase!
