Sydney Rende is the author of the short story collection, I Could Be Famous. A reality TV enthusiast since that fateful night in 2007 when LC called Spencer Pratt a Sucky Person, she will challenge anyone who argues that reality TV isn’t high art. A writer and editor from Baltimore, Maryland, her work has been deemed a “terrific debut” by George Saunders: “Eleven fast, sharp, funny stories laced with a deep understanding of the corrosive effect our fame-hungry attention economy has on real connection between people. Rende is such a witty, engaging writer, with an intuitive understanding that the short story is in the world to delight, engage, and enlarge the reader.” Her work can be found at the New York Times Style Magazine, Carve Magazine, Joyland, and elsewhere.
