Past Staff Members
Heather, Age 18, England – Administrator
Bio: Hey there! Well, my name’s Heather but feel free to call me Heath and I’m a law student who much prefers to spend her time reading and writing. I’ve delved into pretty much any genre possible, including a fair few hybrids which are always fun and I always make time to write a poem or two.
I’m not on too often lately due to a hectic lifestyle: law degree, drama society, pro bono, skiing,
you name it, I do it. But my e-mail account is always available if you need advice or want a helping hand so just drop your question to heather@velociteen.com and I hope to see you around the site.

Christine, Age 19, New Jersey – Columnist (Question It, Writer’s Tablet, Gossip & Gab and Cringe Chronicles)
Bio: My name is Christine Attardo & I’m a writer. Writing is my life and my passion. I believe that a good writer puts a little piece of who they are into everything they write. I grow through my writing and continue to work on my “craft” every day that passes me by.
I realized that I wanted to be a writer about four years ago. I had been writing a wide variety of things for many years before that, but I discovered my passion for creative writing my junior year of high school. I took a creative writing course and wrote my first short story. I have been non-stop writing ever since. About two summer’s ago, I finished my first novel and I began writing a lot of poetry. I started to read my poetry at some local open mic nights (I hope to be doing that again soon.) After a hectic summer I decided that I would write the continuation of my first novel and I managed to complete that in about six months. I am currently working on my first collection of short stories and hope to have that done before Christmas.
Writing has become my life and I don’t think I could live without it. I have come a long way in my writing skill since I first decided that it was something I really wanted to do. I look forward to growing more with my writing as time goes by.
Other than that, I love listening to music, and I love to read. I am a great listener and love to give advice.
