WHO IS HANNAH SIMS?
Hannah Sims, neologist extraordinaire. Empress of the ink well.
Waxer of all eloquence.
All joking aside.
Hannah Sims graduated from Briercrest College in 2013 where
she took a degree in Applied Linguistic: TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of
Other Languages) with a double major.
While she may teach English, her own first language is really
poetry. She began to realize this very early in her life and published her
first poem at age nine (alright, so she really hasn't published much since
then).
Poetry is a passion of hers because, as she maintains, deliberate
and sparing words can often express the parts of the soul which cannot be
explored through profuse prose. Poetry, as a creative art, reflects the
creativity of the true Word and can be used by Him to speak powerfully and
poignantly into the heart of the listener.
Through some of her recent studies,
Hannah has found it crucially important as a Christian who writes to find a
voice and style which seeks to artfully reflect truth rather than propagandize
it.

WHO IS TYLER ELKINK??
TYLER ELKINK:
RAISED IN THE COUNTRY - LIVES IN THE CITY
Tyler
Elkink's collection of alphabet soup has most recently led him to graduate from
Briercrest Seminary with a Master's in theological studies, for which he wrote
his thesis on the impact of copyright on the church.
He makes his living in
database development and is published occasionally in Christian and secular
periodicals on a range of subjects. He is consistently surprised that anyone
takes him seriously.
When he is not in front of a keyboard he is lifting
weights, mixing homemade ice cream, and telling stories with friends.
He lives
in Calgary with two computers, an independently growing collection of power
tools, and more bookshelves than safety concerns would allow.
