Once upon a time…

Tanya Pell is a professional dream chaser. After spending a decade as a high school teacher, she left the classroom to write and edit academic pieces on everything from fairy tales to video games. At some point, she joined the circus and spent some time as an aerial arts instructor. Now, she writes stories filled with trauma, hope, and puns. And maybe magic and monsters…
 
Tanya lives just across the South Carolina border from the city of Charlotte where you can catch her performing aerial or emceeing from time to time. A clinically tired narcoleptic, Tanya drinks bougie coffee, loves video games, and her favorite punctuation is the interrobang. When she isn’t writing, collecting odd bones, or hanging from her lyra or contortion loops, she is focused on her family.

Tanya is represented by Marcy Posner at Folio Literary and FolioJr.
