Winner of the 2014 Royal Nonesuch Humor Writing Competition from the Mark Twain House
“The PR Campaign”
This short story satirizes racism, sexism, and the modern political landscape through the lens of a high school election. While I had been embarrassed by it for the past couple years, the way every writer feels that every thing they write is incredibly cringy and will never be satisfied, I think it’s still a surprisingly apt representation of the beliefs held by my younger self.
