I'm looking to both explore my writing abilities and to help others take an interest in publishing their writing.

Grace Dodd is a senior studying English + Writing. She joined The Crossings in Fall '23 as Commissioning Editor + Associate Editor. Although her major requires her to take part of The Crossings, she has enjoyed exploring this literary journal as well as the other literary medias on Bethel's campus.

Grace grew up in Mishawaka, Indiana and graduated from Elkhart Christian Academy High School. While she is not set on any specific future plans, Grace envisions herself working in some creative capacity that most likely will involve writing. In her free time, Grace enjoys singing, acting, swimming, and babysitting. Additionally, her favorite book is Star Wars: Dark Disciples by Christie Golden.
