Shane Reid
Shane Reid comes from the UK, in a city he hates called Liverpool and dreams of getting out of there for good. He has words in Best Served Cold zine, Engendered Literary magazine, and, mostly recently, Drip Lit Magazine. He has a deep love for writing that is weird, off-beat, lyrical and words that'll crack his heart open and make him think for days afterwards. When he's not typing away, he's working through his ever-growing TBR and daydreaming off a content, quiet life in the countryside.
