Camber Carpenter (she/her) hails from central Illinois and after a few years working in Hong Kong and Italy, moved to NYC in 2012 to pursue a career in theater and comedy. Before that, she earned a BA in Literature from South Dakota State University. Camber thinks the pub crawl is the best possible use of that degree. She now lives in Brooklyn and has a toddler whom she is raising to love reading too, obviously. Camber has a special place in her heart for Walt Whitman and the Beats. She is always up for a literary pilgrimage, so if you live somewhere with a literary connection, Camber wants to hear about it.
