Ben Bolstrum, Managing Editor
Howdy, hey, hello. My name’s Ben Bolstrum, nice to meet you. I put words on paper or screens for you, Dear Reader, to read.
What a concept, right?
So how do you use a platform for good? The following words will be the most important I have ever written. Not only due to their outreach but because this is my mission statement as a writer and hopefully emblematic of my character. So maybe I’m being a little melodramatic… Okay fine, very melodramatic, but I prefer optimistic. I’m a writer, what am I without a bit of pretension?
I have this platform for which I can use to give a voice to people who need it, so here’s what we’re going to do. I don’t have to feel represented because all I’ve ever is represented. I will use my position to tell the stories that don’t get told. I’m a storyteller, it’s what I do. I’ll weaponize my privilege to elevate any voice that deserves to be heard. Minority, woman, gay, trans and so many more. I’m going to get your story told. Hold me accountable and together, you and me, this little reader-writer partnership thing we have here, maybe we can have a rather good thing here.
