Lucas Hanft, TWH Maine “Mini MFA” Directors Assistant

The rare upper-middle class Jew from Long Island who aspires to be a writer, Lucas attended Yale University before becoming a journalist, working at an early incarnation of Radar Magazine (back when it aspired to be a contemporary version of Spy). He’s also been published in the Boston Globe, New York Observer, Salon, Inc., and the Barnes and Noble Review, among others. Currently he works in marketing and branding, consulting for a wide range of clients, both big and small. His mother would never forgive him if he failed to mention he was an Intel Science Talent Search Top-40 finalist.
