Freelance writer and art enthusiast, Rose Burke, often writes humorous essays inspired by awkward dating experiences and life's cruel sense of humor. Not-so-shockingly, the most noteworthy moment of her childhood occurred at the Scholastic Book Fair where Jon Scieszka signed her very own copy of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales and labeled her his "favorite stinker." Her work can be seen in Scandalous Women Magazine, The Southampton Review, The Conium Review, 100 First Dates, The Starving Writer Review, and The Starving Writer Review Collection.
