Founder, Editor-in-Chief
Before the Great Lockdown of 2020, Jadae Sweezer (she/her) created the prototype version of this magazine for the literary magazines class she took during her first quarter in grad school at DePaul University in Chicago. From there, she became the Assistant Editor for Slag Glass City, an online magazine for the essay arts, and learned the ropes of running a literary magazine. After graduating from DePaul's Writing and Publishing masters program and looking for a way to get into the publishing industry post-grad, she made the decision to launch her baby, Suspended Magazine.
