The Optimist Review

Today marks the beginning of the end for the editor bios!! 7/8...Duo-Wei! ———————————————————————
Hi! My name is Duo-Wei Yang. Many of my close friends and family, however, call me DoDo. It isn't meant to be derogatory, but a reference to the characters in Chinese that means 'bean'. My family consists of me, my brother Jerry, and my parents.

I'm a rising but reluctant senior at Decatur High School. I'm pretty sure everyone else is feeling the same.

4/8 Halfway there! Kori Lannaman!

Rising senior at Woodward Academy. I enjoy running track, writing and listening to spoken word. Favorite spoken word artist is Zora Howard. Favorite show is Orange is the New Black.

3/8--Maguire! (who runs this account) :)

Hi! I'm Maguire Wilder. I go to Wesleyan School in Norcross, GA and am a rising junior. I'm an actress and choreographer. I write mostly poetry and short stories. In the future, I hope to go to either Northwestern University or NYU! I run the Instagram and Twitter accounts for The Optimist Review program. For fun, I watch Orange is the New Black. My favorite novel is Looking for Alaska by John Green. My favorite memoir is Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. I love music and attend Bonnaroo Music Festival yearly. My favorite artists are twenty-one pilots, The 1975, and Halsey. My personal Instagram is and my personal Twitter is @/MaguireWilder

The Optimist Review is a high school publishing program with The Wren's Nest. Our book will be launched at the Decatur Book Festival! Welcome!
