Mike Hampton is a graduate of Spalding University's MFA in Writing program. His fiction has appeared in 3AM Magazine, Heartlands, and The Southeast Review among other places and is forthcoming in the anthology New Growth, published by The Jesse Stuart Foundation. His humor appeared in the McSweeney's anthology Mountain Man Dance Moves and he has also published poetry and essays. He is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Cincinnati Clermont College, and he lives in Cincinnati with his wife Allison and daughter Ella.

Stephen George was born and bred in Louisville, and though he's spent a little time away, he pretty much likes it here for now. He is the managing editor of LEO, Louisville's only alternative newsweekly, and his work has appeared in Louisville Magazine, The New Republic Online and others. His work has been anthologized in Missing Mountains, where he appears alongside a number of other significantly more profound writers. He has had a one-act play performed, to some positive mention in certain circles. He is currently working on a novel about failure, which could turn out to be quite the experience in meta-lit.
