Sydney Rende

Sydney Rende grew up in Baltimore and lived in New York City for many years, where she had her own odd brushes with celebrity while working as a personal assistant to an actor. She received her MFA in Fiction from Syracuse University, and her stories have been published in Joyland, Carve Magazine, and elsewhere. A reality TV enthusiast since that fateful night in 2007 when LC called Spencer Pratt a “Sucky Person,” she will challenge anyone who dares to argue that reality TV isn’t high art. She now lives in Southern California.
