Maddie Reynolds ’10

While studying at Columbia College, Maddie Reynolds gained a great deal of experience writing for various blogs and entertainment magazines as a music critic, though she quickly discovered her passion was in fiction writing. “I’ve been active in the Chicago literary scene, taking classes and volunteering with Story Studio, a writer’s workshop in the city, and I’ve completed two manuscripts.”  Reynolds credits PiM for pulling her out of her shell. “Attending an arts high school helped me tap into my creativity and grow as an artist. It showed me a confidence I didn’t realize I had.” Reynolds first novel, “Illusions” is available on Amazon, Google Books, and Barnes & Noble.
