Sage Suddleson, Editor-in-Chief
Sage Suddleson has worked on Mainstream since freshman year, first as a staff writer and then as the Entertainment Editor. They are now in their senior year, and this is their second year as Editor-in-Chief. Mainstream has served as a safe haven and home for them these past four years, and they hope to foster the same environment for others!
In their free time, they enjoy listening to alternative and indie music, such as Paramore and Hozier, as well as musical theater. Their top three favorite musicals are Newsies, Little Shop of Horror, and Company. Some of their interests include the shows Smallville and Doctor Who, novels such as Pride and Prejudice and the Percy Jackson series, and playing the Sims 4, as well as hanging out with their friends, family, and 8-year-old labradoodle, Rocky.
An avid reader, they are attempting to top their previous record of 50 books read in 2023 by reading 60 by the end of 2024. Though they tend to gravitate towards fantasy, a current favorite series is the Mr. Darcy and Miss Tilney Mysteries by Claudia Gray. Other favorite genres include historical fiction, realistic fiction, LGBTQIA+ fiction/romance, and any story that mixes one or more of these genres. They hope to study history as an undergraduate and then become a librarian.
