Luca Demirağ is a senior at Hall High School in West Hartford and is interested in writing about history, alternate history, and alternate futures.

Q: Do you have a favorite writing memory, like a favorite piece of writing that you wrote?
A: Maybe one of my alternate histories. These take place in an alternate timeline.  Some are historically based, and some are futuristic.  I don’t have a specific favorite, though.

Q: What’s your favorite genre to write about?
A: A current favorite is to write about 50 years in the future.  There are many geopolitical scenarios that could unfold within that timeline.

Q: What’s not very good with your writing?
A: I tend not to elaborate. I also have some interesting grammatical choices that are technically correct, but kind of odd.

Q: What makes you want to write?
A: I don’t know. I’ve always had kind of an active imagination, especially for fictional writing.

Q:  How will you relate your love of fiction to journalism?
A:  My interest in geopolitics is very relevant to current events.  My love of countries can be the subject of endless articles.
