Author: Kimberly Zapata

Kimberly Zapata holds an AA in Liberal Arts and Certificate in Creative Writing, and is currently an English major at Temple University. She has been a contributing editor for The Point since issue #49 and is the founder and editor-in-chief of Transient Publishing, an online literary magazine and writing community. She has authored several press releases, travel and tourism articles, and nonfiction works (most recently “Waterproof,” which was selected to be featured in APIARY Magazine online); was a freelance writer for Examiner.com for three years, and wrote a short film, Number 148, which was produced in 2010 and screened at the International House in Philadelphia in 2011. As a member of the piercing community, Kimberly still feels very much in her infancy. While she was the Operations Manager at Infinite Body Piercing, Inc. (from 2009–2012), she knows she still has a great deal to learn, and she looks forward to learning it alongside the rest of her piercing friends and family.
