Essay Fiesta survived last night’s thunderstorms. Now we’re bracing ourselves for the flood of amazing talent that we’ll be showcasing on Monday! And our final reader to make a splash? Megan Stielstra!
Megan Stielstra is the literary director for 2nd Story, the storytelling series that goes well with a bottle of wine!
Megan has told stories for The Goodman, The Steppenwolf, The Museum of Contemporary Art, The Chicago Cultural Center, The Chicago Poetry Center, Wordstock Literary Festival, The Neo-Futurarium, and Chicago Public Radio, among others, and is a Literary Death Match Champ. Her fiction has appeared in a number of publications including Other Voices, Fresh Yarn, Pindeldyboz, Swink, Perigee, Annalemma and Venus. She makes her change by teaching creative writing at Columbia College and The University of Chicago.
