My name is Lauren Stidham and this is my first year on exec for Thread! I joined 2 years ago and immediately fell in love with it. It has been such an enriching experience being surrounded by such talented people, and Thread has not only made me a better writer but it has allowed my creativity to flourish. Everyone involved in Thread works so hard to make every issue incredible and writing for each issue has made my work really come alive. Apart from our issues, being Online Content Editor has allowed for ever more creative freedoms, and each story is uniquely tailored to the passions of its writer! I hope you all can feel the love and dedication that’s put into every issue!
