Philip Stephens
Honors recipient Philip Stephens had a story published in Conceptions Southwest titled, "Vondelpark", using his full pen name of Philip Charles Stephens (unfortunately misspelled in the magazine). He plans to continue work on the story and is hoping for further publication.
Philip's Honors thesis was entitled "Captain Wizzlebeaks: Science Fiction and the Technologized Lens", and he was awarded cum laude. He comments, "it began as a critique of industrial changes in the Gothic but quickly became a sort of Heideggerian look at reality and how it's represented in the technological age. I used the 75'000 word zero draft of my novel to begin my thesis and I'm now 50'000 words into the first draft. It's coming along well and takes up most of my creative energies. Hopefully it will work!"
Congratulations, Philip, you have worked so very hard and are deserving of your success. I greatly enjoyed " Captain Wizzlebeaks: Science Fiction and the Technologized Lens " and look forward to reading more of your writing.
