Jilly Gagnon is currently based in Chicago, but is originally from Minnesota, a fact she’ ll likely inform you of within minutes of meeting you. When she’ s not writing, she’ s probably either deep in a video-game rabbit hole, talking to her cats like they understand her, or practicing her violin, which for some inexplicable reason (masochism) she took up recently. Jilly’ s short humor, personal essays, and op-eds have appeared in all kinds of places that it’ s too tedious to list. She also writes the adult comedy book series Choose Your Own Misery, coauthored with Mike MacDonald. Visit Jilly at www. jillygagnon. com.
