Lana Morelli
Editor-in-Chief
Lana Morelli received a BA in Political Science, Sociology and Pre-Law from Cabrini College in 2007. After completing one (unhappy) year of law school, Lana enrolled at SJU to pursue her true passion—writing. During her first semester in the Writing Studies Program, Lana started a blog based on the life and perspectives of a 20something called Straight Up, On the Rocks, or with a Twist. The blog is now endorsed by the Delaware County Daily Times, where Lana is coined “Delco’s 20something Blogger.” In the spring of 2010 Lana acquired her own website, www.lanamorelli.com and now averages more than 2,600 hits per month from readers around the world; Canada, UK, Italy, Germany, India, Vietnam, Russia, Denmark, Slovakia, Australia. Lana is using this blog as her thesis project and turning it into a book: Tastefully Inappropriate. Lana is the 2011 Editor-in-Chief of The Avenue. She works full-time as a reporter for a California based Legal Magazine, Courthouse News. Her freelance work has appeared in various publications, including Philadelphia Magazine, Delaware Today Magazine, The Garnet Valley Press, SJU Athletic Media Guides, Gimme This & That Magazine, Examiner.com and more. Lana will graduate from the Writing Studies M.A. program this May (2011).
