Howdy, I’m Reid.

I am a Brooklyn-based writer from Texas. I earned my MFA from Columbia, where I also taught undergraduate writing. My short fiction has appeared in The Baffler and earned an honorable mention in the 2023 Zoetrope: All-Story short fiction competition. I’m currently at work on a story collection and a novel. 

I sometimes work as a freelance writer for science and history museum exhibitions. You can find my narrative/experiential/concept design currently on view in permanent exhibitions at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and forthcoming at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, MOSH (the Museum of Science and History) in Jacksonville, and the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
