Tim Marcin was an English major with minors in Creative Writing and Business. During
his time at Washington College, Tim wrote and edited for The Elm, was a part of the
soccer team, won the Beacham and Warner Writing Prize in 2012, and eventually won
the Sophie Kerr prize his senior year. He currently works as a culture writer for
Mashable in NYC. His past employment includes working for Vice, Newsweek, and International
Business Times.
Tim says that WAC’s creative writing community helped him to take chances with his
writing and be a little weird. Tim didn’t really know he wanted to be a writer until
he spent time with so many students and professors who loved the written word.
