Author's Bio

She has a BA in English from Smith College and is an MFA candidate at Vermont College of Fine Arts. Schneider reviews literary magazines for The Review Review. She is Assistant Craft Blog Editor for The Tishman Review. She blogs about life on the ranch and other ponderings at www.printandink.net.
