Shannon discovered her aspirations for writing upon making the feminists weep by dropping out of grad school, where she was a Ph.D candidate in the field of Nietzschean Continental Philosophy. She then proceeded to show up homeless on her boyfriend’s doorstep with a cat. (They’re married now. There’s kids. More cats. Love is love.)
Her work has appeared, or is forthcoming, in McSweeneys Internet Tendency, Pithead Chapel, Bending Genres, Nimrod Journal, Philadelphia Stories, Parentheses Journal, X-R-a-y Lit Mag, South Florida Poetry Journal, Feral: A Journal of Poetry and Art, Door Is a Jar, WAS Quarterly, Reckon Review, Arkana Mag, Epoch Press, Lunate Fiction, Ellipsis Zine, Scary Mommy, trampset, Maudlin House, Spelk Fiction, WHYY, the Philadelphia City Paper, and elsewhere.
Shannon harbors an unhealthy interest in Nietzsche, the Seven Summits, ballet, the Hamilton soundtrack, anti-racism, motherhood, and the Summer Olympics. She aims to write The Next Great American Novel while simultaneously acquiring more cats.
She comes up when you Google her.
