Dylan Janos

Fiction Editor

Class of 2026

Dylan (he/him) is a writer from the Cleveland area. As an English Literature, Culture & Writing major, he’s widened his interests perhaps too broadly to incorporate focuses in creative writing, screenwriting, history, and philosophy, the latter of which he earned a student award in. In his free time you’ll catch him reading whatever’s caught his interest that day, chipping away at the same outlines he’s been working on since high school, planning something for Ohio University’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, mindlessly scrolling and/or posting, deliberating on the collapse of civilized society, or watching basketball.
