AMY GUTH is the founder of Pilcrow Lit Fest, host and curator of the monthly Fixx Reading Series and author of Three Fallen Women (So New Media Publishing, 2006), as well as a forthcoming second novel and work of non-fiction. Previously, she has written for The Believer, Monkeybicycle, Ninth Letter, Four Magazine, Bookslut, The Complete Meal and Outcry, among others. Once upon a time, she collaborated on a few sketch comedy productions at The Second City's training center. Around the same time, she was also fumbling around a few improv comedy stages as well, and fondly recalls the nights she played the "Kill Whitey" crayon and the night she improvised doing improv-coke off of an improv-hooker.
