Dana Schwartz's work has appeared in publications such as the New Yorker, Mental Floss, the Guardian, the New York Observer, MTV News, and VICE. When she's not tweeting as one of her parody accounts (@GuyInYourMFA and @DystopianYA), she's tweeting as herself (@DanaSchwartzzz), where she shares way too much personal information to ever pull off the Thomas Pynchon-reclusive-author act. She is now based in New York City.
