We’re excited to announce that Stephanie Mullings (Fiction ’19) published a short story in Open Ceilings, a literary journal housed at UC Davis! Stephanie wrote the story for Leslie Epstein’s fiction workshop at BU.
Stephanie says: “Teammates” is the fraught coming of age experience. It’s the delicateness of navigating the terms of your identity, or friendships, or love. I wanted to speak to this, and also aimed for my writing to address these experiences within the context of the Black community.
Thank you, Stephanie, and congratulations on your story! We wish you the best at USC.
Stephanie Mullings is a Chicago native and graduate of Boston University’s Creative Writing Master of Fine Arts program. She is a recipient of the Roy Cowden Memorial Fellowship, awarded for short fiction at the University of Michigan.
