Hi, I'm Shannon Waite
I'm the author of numerous short stories, mostly transgressive, pending publication. My work has been featured in PANK and Hobart. My fiction has been nominated for Best of the Net and I have won five flash fiction awards. In addition to writing, I've been teaching for nearly a decade, earning teacher of the year and runner-up in Barnes & Noble with Chelsea Clinton's "Get Going!" contest, and presenting my project-based learning curriculum at local, state, and national conferences. My students became accomplished authors with their writing sold in a Detroit bookstore. I'm located in Detroit but my writing's available to you worldwide. You can also find me on Instagram. I write
I read
a lot of everything. Fiction, non fiction, novels, short stories. I read on the treadmill at the gym, so I go through books like crazy.
I teach
I've got three degrees and am probably not done. In case you're curious:
I also recently began a rabbit hole with researching transgressive fiction and social change which led me to developing my own writing in new ways. When I've got spare time, I go on very long walks, practice Jujutsu, and make mix CDs. |
