Connor Fineran

I've been a lifelong literature and writing lover. I was heavily involved in the Undergraduate English Society at my alma mater George Mason University, where I submitted fiction for peer review as well as providing feedback to others. Currently, I am a member of the Reston Writers Review, a group of writers based in the Loudoun County area of Northern Virginia.
