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. She drinks bougie coffee and loves video games, logging upwards of 3000 hours on the Dragon Age franchise alone, so she clearly cannot be shamed. When she isn’t writing or hanging from her lyra or contortion loops, she is focused on her family.
