Profile: Born in the hinterlands of Georgia, Allison Keene was raised as an over-achiever in parochial schools. She played croquet on the quad for 4 years at Emory University as an Unemployment Major (Creative Writing and Film). Against all odds, she now works for Creative Loafing Inc, a coterie of alternative weeklies based in Atlanta, where she handles the layout for the D.C. and Charlotte papers, interviews B-list celebrities for podcasts, and reviews D-list films as a junior critic. She enjoys long walks on the beach, ESPN, naps, and chuckling knowingly at New Yorker cartoons in between penning her insufferable screenplays.
