Kiley Reid is the author of the novel “Such a Fun Age."
After getting rejected from the nine schools she applied to for her master of fine arts degree, Reid moved to Arkansas and began writing about her experiences babysitting in New York throughout her 20s before reapplying. This time, she was accepted into the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she earned her MFA.
While in the workshop, Reid was awarded the Truman Capote Fellowship and finished her debut novel, “Such a Fun Age.” She also taught undergraduate creative writing workshops with a focus on race and class.
“Such a Fun Age” is both Marie Claire and Well-Read Black Girl’s January book club pick, and Reese Witherspoon, who can sell out books with one Instagram post, announced the book also a Reese’s Book Club must-read.
Reid’s short stories have been featured in Ploughshares, December, New South, and Lumina. She currently lives in Philadelphia.
