Contributor (TV and Movie Reviews)
Lucy De Haan has many passions, two of which combine writing with anime and manga as well as other geeky media. She first began her training as a writer at Normandale Community College, after which she transferred to Augsburg University in the fall of 2017 to earn her degree. In May 2019, Lucy graduated cum laude with a bachelor’s of fine arts with an emphasis in creative writing. Lucy is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to writing; she has dabbled in not only journalism but also poetry, fiction, academic writing, and even screenwriting! It is her belief that all literary works should be presented to the reader in a way that is both informative and entertaining.
In her free time, Lucy enjoys listening to Vocaloid music, drawing her characters, and, of course, writing about them.
