About Us

What started as a simple idea in a Facebook group has grown into a digital magazine with a global reach.

We are dedicated to supporting emerging and undiscovered writers by providing a platform to share their stories, perspectives, and creativity with the world.

Hanna is originally from Wheeling, West Virginia but she currently resides in Dover, Delaware with her boyfriend Ian and their cat Syca (pronounced Seeca.) She is the founder, editor-in-chief, and writer for The Up And Coming Magazine. She started it because she wanted to create an online magazine for writers who have a difficult time getting their work published, and our online magazine now has many talented writers globally, and I am proud to be part of it.

Outside of the magazine, Hanna enjoys spending time with Ian and Syca, traveling to new places, watching movies, writing, and watching television shows. She also loves reading occasionally when she can find the time.

Atia Sanjida is currently a high school senior, and she’s the co-founder of our magazine as well as our social media manager. Every month, she designs the posts for the magazine’s Instagram account, and she’s amazing at what she does. She is also a passionate writer and is always a great joy to work with.
