About our writers 
Michelle Alejandra Padilla currently attends Sacramento City College. At nineteen, she’s a first generation college student. Her writing focuses on the Latina experience in the U.S. and is now being recognized by Stories on Stage Sacramento in her first flash fiction piece entitled “Eva.” She hopes that through her writing she can help young women find the strength to break the traditional values that keep them oppressed, as well as heal from trans-generational trauma.


Alma Rocio Peguero is an English major at Sacramento City College and delighted to have her short story, “Oil Smudged Spectacles,” selected to be read at Stories on Stage Sacramento.  Creative writing has always been her emotional outlet. “I’ve learned a lot through the written word and hope to share and create the same effect with others
 
Seth Katz was born and raised in Sacramento, then went back east for college. He lives in New York and holds an MFA in Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, where he works as an admission officer. He is an occasional film critic and is currently at work on a novel. He thanks editor Alison Hinton for including his short story “The Present Progressive” in The Machine, the literary magazine of Folsom Lake Community College
 
Andrew Shamshurin is a former Editor-in-Chief of American River Review. A former resident of Antelope, CA,  he’s  currently serving  in the Peace Corps  in Thailand. His short story, “The Prophet of Taco Bell,” appears in the 2019 American River Review.
