Born July 25th 1986, Zoe Trope exists, or so says her author bio in her debut book, Please Don't Kill the Freshman, a memoir of Zoe's high school freshman and sophmore years. Of course, there aren't photos of Zoe without a mask, a book, or her hair covering part of her face: in fact, Zoe Trope is just a pen name for this Oregon native now living in Oberlin, Ohio attending Oberlin College where she is an art history major.
The intelligent and sarcastic redhead- who graduated from high school a year early, avoided flipping off the entire school when she accepted her diploma, and spent the next year touring her book- started her diary-style story when she had a writing course with Kevin Sampsell, who later published her work as a chapbook in October of her sophmore year. That chapbook would later bring Zoe a $100,000 book deal, for a longer memoir for HarperTempest, when author Joe Weisberg sent her chapbook to his agent with a three-word note saying "This is awesome!" |

*- PoMosexual (PoMo stands for postmodern) is the "erotic reality beyond the boundaries of gender, separatism, and essentialist notions of sexual orientation", or people who do not identify with any specific classification of sexuality. |

Zoe has a blog that she updates [www.zoe-trope.com] where fans can interact with her!
Zoe currently has no plan to write another novel because, "being a full-time college student, I barely get enough sleep as it is." She currently has a boyfriend. :)
When she finishes college, Zoe would like to be an art librarian or museum curator.
Did you know?: When Zoe's not living half her life on the internet, she enjoys knitting, cooking, photography, eating sushi, and scaring prospective freshmens' families. |
