Amy Guth’s Summary
Official bio and such:
Amy Guth is the founder of Pilcrow Lit Fest 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. Currently, in addition to her general blog, Bigmouth Indeed Strikes Again, she writes a running and fitness blog, Bonkless. Also, she hosts the monthly Fixx Reading Series, which is generally held on the fourth Thursday of each month in Chicago. 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. She's lived all over the country, but landed in Chicago in 2001, where she currently resides.
