About Us

Peeves and Rants
We're Curly Curmudgeon and Prunella Peeve, writers who became friends in graduate school. For the past few years we've maintained our transatlantic friendship mainly via e-mail, where we often share pet peeves and rants about aspects of writing, publishing, teaching, and many other topics. Now we're making it all public. Why? We're not entirely sure. But we hope to find at least a few more like-minded friends in cyberspace.
