Hi, I\u2019m Dugan Lentz. I\u2019m a current student at Appalachian State University studying English with a concentration in Creative Writing. For the last two years, I\u2019ve served as the associate prose editor for my school\u2019s literary magazine, The Peel<\/em>. When I\u2019m not at school, you can find me in Cary, North Carolina, lifeguarding at the YMCA or trekking through Russian literature. As an aspiring author, I am grateful for the chance to take a peek behind the scenes of the publishing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
