Meg Reid is a satirist and humor writer. You can find her shining a bright light on social inequality, political hypocrisy, and menus in dark restaurants.
She is a contributor at The New Yorker, The Onion, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, Reductress, Points in Case, and The Weekly Humorist, and has published work in numerous other outlets, including The Boston Globe, Slackjaw and The Belladonna.
Meg is always looking for opportunities to write political, feminist, absurd, and/or dark satire and humor. She is working on a book and a couple of pilots, all vaguely about some combination of women, apocalypse(s), coming of age, aging, and SOCIETY AM I RIGHT?!
