What they said:
Ahrens: “I’ve always believed that great writers aren’t just found – they’re nurtured. Some of the most meaningful work I’ve done has been taking chances on raw, unproven talent and giving them the space, support, and belief they need to grow. We take bets on potential, not just polished résumés, because there’s something powerful about spotting that spark early and helping it catch fire.
