Jenn McKee is currently a part-time staff theater critic/entertainment writer for AnnArbor.com, and before that, she worked for five years as an arts reporter for The Ann Arbor News. After growing up in Brighton, MI, she wrote her first theater reviews for The Michigan Daily while a student at U-M, and continued to write freelance arts articles for local newspapers while earning an MA in English at University of Georgia, and then an MFA in creative writing (fiction) at Penn State University. She’s published a poem (that’s right, one), several book reviews, and a handful of short stories in literary journals, and one of her stories, “Under the Influence,” was selected by Joyce Carol Oates for inclusion in the anthology, Best New American Voices 2003. She’s written a travel memoir about driving a stranger around the country for a book tour – on short notice, without pay, and only a few weeks after her wedding – that she’s hoping to get published, but until then, she’s blogging and neurotically obsessing in her brightly-painted home, which she shares with her lovely husband Joe and two daughters, Lily and Neve.
