Kristen Arnett has contributed to several anthologies that reflect her range as a writer. We Are the Baby-Sitters Club (2021) collects essays from adults looking back on the beloved book series, while I Know What’s Best for You (2022) gathers feminist responses to the unsolicited advice women receive throughout their lives.
Her other anthology appearances include Retro Five, a selection from Joyland Magazine, and Sex and the Single Woman (2022), which updates the conversation around women, independence, and desire. These contributions show Arnett working in essay and short fiction modes, bringing the same sharp voice and willingness to be uncomfortable that define her novels.
