Shannon Reed, a visiting lecturer in the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences’ Writing Program, was recognized by People magazine for her new book, “Why Did I Get a B?: And Other Mysteries We’re Discussing in the Faculty Lounge.”
Reed’s new work of memoir and humor was named Book of the Week by the magazine for its July 6th issue. The magazine calls the book “funny” and “revealing,” and also encourages readers to “send this book to your favorite teacher.”
The book, which was released on June 30, is composed of essays full of “humor, heart and wit,” and draws upon Reed’s 20 years working with students in ages ranging from preschool to college.
Writer’s Digest also featured Reed’s new book in its July/August 2020 issue. Reed earned a master of fine arts degree from the English department in 2015.
