"I like this place and could willingly waste my time in it."
— Celia, As You Like It (Act II, Scene 4)
Katniss Li
(editor-in-chief & designer)
Katniss Li is a high school senior from Rui’an, the (in her opinion) best and most unrenowned small coastal city in China. She is an alumna of the Kenyon Review Young Writers Workshops. When she isn’t engrossed in editing/ designing for Différance or secretly scribbling/reading through the night, she is likely rewatching the Les
Mis musical or listening to Twenty One Pilots. She has
a soft spot for cats, cool similes (willing to discuss favorites), and purple. She is living her Bildungsroman.
Chris Tian
(social media manager)
Chris Tian is a high school senior from Shanghai, China. She has some artistic talents as well, but maybe they're more on music and arts than literature like her peers above. Gladly, she will not be the one deciding if your work gets published. And if your work is not included, blame it on her for secretly deleting your work before editors can look at it :D. Just kidding, she is sure your work is amazing and will make sure the editors get to read it.
Taylen Huang
(editor-in-chief)
Taylen Huang is a high school senior from Shanghai, China. An alumna of the Iowa Young Writers Studio, her work has been recognized by Polyphony Lit, Inlandia, and Chautauqua. Besides writing/reading/ editing at the most ungodly hours, she enjoys Wikipedia-ing true crime cases, collecting untranslatable words like “tyvsmake,” and photosynthesizing on walks with her favorite groups blasting in her ears. If she looks like she’s zoning out, she’s probably brainstorming
a pun or dad joke.
You
(young writer/artist,
submitter/reader)
You make
all of this
possible.

Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Chinchilla Lit, Nowhere Girl Collective, PVLSE, etc. She is an alumna of the Iowa Young Writers Studio and Juniper Young Writers.
