Peg Tittle writes issue-driven speculative fiction. Of her seven novels, two have been finalists for the Eric Hoffer Award (Gender Fraud: a fiction and It Wasn't Enough) and one (What Happened to Tom) is on Goodreads' list of Fiction Books That Opened Your Eyes To A Social Or Political Issue. In addition, she has written screenplays for two (Exile and What Happened to Tom), named finalist and semi-finalist, respectively, in several competitions. She was a columnist for Philosophy Now and The Philosophy Magazine and continues to write provocative short pieces, two of which were in IEET's top ten of the year, and one of which was published as a McSweeney's list. Many of these have been anthologized in Sexist Shit that Pisses Me Off and Just Think about It! While obtaining a Master's degree in Philosophy, she presented papers at the World Congress of Philosophy, the Congress of Learned Societies, and the Society for Philosophy in a Contemporary World. She also writes literary prose and poetry (chriswind.net) and provocative comedy (jassrichards.com) and, altogether, has received 13 Ontario Arts Council grants and published over 30 books.

Résumé
Should you need a license in order to become a parent? What's wrong with calling people Ms. and Mr.? Why is casual day at the office insulting? Why should you take down the flag? Is women's fiction really women's fiction? Should we have professional jurors? Why should you boycott marriage? Why shouldn't athletes take performance-enhancing drugs?Philosophy with attitude. Because the unexamined life is dangerous. Note: All of the pieces in the Shit that Pisses Me Off series (4 volumes) have been anthologized in either Sexist Shit that Pisses Me Off (2nd edn) or Just .
Think about It! (2nd edn), along with almost a hundred additional pieces (in each case), and both are available in eformat and paperback.*"... smart, witty essays that challenge the intellect ... her razor sharp words will slice and dice the cerebral jugular." Laura Salkin, Thinkspin". It's all thought-provoking, and whether or not you'll end up agreeing with her conclusions, her essays make for fascinating reading." 5/5 Erin O'Riordan"Tittle's pieces are atypical of philosophical writing in the best ways: of interest to non-specialists, yet instructive and profound, yet entertaining." Ron Cooper, Professor of Philosophy".
a passionate, stylistically-engaging writer ." 5/5 George, Amazon"This book had me laughing and nodding my head in complete and total agreement with a lot of things Peg Tittle wrote about. ..." 5/5 Kitty Bullard, Great Minds Think Aloud"This was funny and almost painfully accurate, pointing out so many things that most of us try NOT to notice, or wish we didn't. Well written and amusing, I enjoyed this book immensely." 5/5 Melody Hewson "What she said!!! Pisses me off also! Funny, enjoyable and so right on!!!! Highly recommended." Vic 5/5 stars Indigo"If you've been feeling rant-y, you keep wanting to slam your head into your desk or the nearest wall...you'll probably enjoy this short book, and may spend the entire time nodding your head and exclaiming 'That! That exactly.' Filled with all the things that make you wonder (not in a good way) about people and the world in general. Alissa C. 4/5 stars Amazon"This made me giggle, think, and question lot...
I really enjoyed this book and hope she writes even more 's***' that pisses her off!" 4/5 stars Amazon Customer
