Meet Mara Cobb, this year’s editor-in-chief!

Hi! My name is Mara Cobb, and I’m so excited and honored to be the editor-in-chief for Tributaries this 2022-23 academic year. I first joined the Tribs team back in 2017 as a reader. I then served as the nonfiction editor in 2018 and 2019, fiction editor in 2020, and the managing editor last year.

Currently, I’m a graduate student pursuing my master’s in English. I also work as an essay advisor for high school seniors and premed students. In my free time, I enjoy reading good books, creative writing, baking, and spending time on my family’s farm with our dogs, cats, goats, horses, and chickens.

For this year’s edition of Tributaries, I’m looking for pieces that surprise me. For poems, I’m looking for original themes and subjects. For fiction, I’m looking for dynamic characters and fun settings. And for creative nonfiction, I’m looking for pieces that move me. Most of all, I can’t wait to see your​ submission, so don’t wait!
