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.
