Hi, I’m Anna Welter, a Milwaukee-based writer and editor with a passion for poetry, prose, and storytelling. I edit for Zoetic Press and contribute to Furrow Magazine, shaping submissions into polished, publication-ready pieces while meeting tight deadlines and collaborating with editors and authors. Beyond editing, I balance front-desk responsibilities at a senior living community and security coordination on campus, which have sharpened my organizational, communication, and people skills. I hold dual bachelor’s degrees in English (Creative Writing) and Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres, with honors from UW–Milwaukee, and I’m excited to bring curiosity, creativity, and a collaborative mindset to future projects.
