Shannon Reed is the author of Why Did I Get a B: And Other Mysteries We're Discussing in the Faculty Lounge, and frequently contributes to McSweeney's Internet Tendency and the New Yorker. Her work has also been published in the Paris Review, Slate, the Washington Post, Real Simple, Guernica, and Buzzfeed, among others. Shannon is a Lecturer in the Creative Writing program at the University of Pittsburgh, which sounds pretty impressive until you realize she earned her MFA there, so they likely just felt sorry for her and let her stay.

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store.
