Chris Gerhardt, Copy Editor
Chris Gerhardt is a senior at Fitchburg State University and both a writer and copy editor for The Point, though he has technically been a senior for three semesters now. For the last few years he has been majoring in English Studies with a professional writing concentration. Upon graduating Chris plans on working as a professional editor as well as a creative writer. His dream is to one day publish a bestselling novel.
Chris is currently in his final semester at FSU and is set to graduate come December after having transferred from the University of New Hampshire and changing majors in the spring of 2019. As such he is relieved that his last semester will be spent in person as opposed to remote. He has been writing actively for almost seven years, starting back when he was an engineering student at UNH. Chris also has a rather intense love of orchestral music, citing it as one of his many inspirations for some of his writings. That and the chaos he is occasionally drawn into by a few of his oldest friends.
A fun fact about Chris is that he started writing as a joke, having been dared to after sarcastically making fun of one of his friend’s favorite shows. The exact words having been: “If you think it’s so bad you write a better story.”
The show was Game of Thrones, season one however.
