Reed is a writer from Atlanta, Georgia, with a passion for LGBTQ+ fiction, fantasy literature, and folklore. "Fairy Tales For Modern Queers" began as their senior capstone project in college and was published the year after they graduated with their degree in English Literature/Creative Writing. Reed tried to be funny with the original bio at age 23, and did not realize at the time that it a) was not funny, and b) would not age well. As of this writing, they still live in Atlanta with their cats.
