Janie Beaufore

Janie Beaufore was born in 1995 in the taxidermy section of the Natural History Museum. She is the kind of person who could make three perfect cornhole shots in a row and not draw any attention to it. She once tried to exit a bus when it was at a red light because she thought it had reached her stop, even after several people yelled at her to sit down. Her collection of short stories and haikus entitled What Had That Been, was awarded the James Joyce Prize for Confusing Literature. In her spare time, she enjoys making citizen’s arrests, lying about having run a 10K, and subtlety hinting at her roommates that she is a ghost. She holds an honorary PhD from the University of Phoenix and currently resides in Colonial Williamsburg where she hand crafts horse blinders.
