Tanya Frank

In 2002, I moved to Los Angeles, where I gained my MFA in Creative Non Fiction at the University of California, Riverside. Upon graduating I completed an internship in mental health psychosocial rehabilitation, working at Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services in Los Angeles, using memoir as a tool to aid self-expression and recovery.

My work has appeared in the Guardian UK, the New York Times, the Washington Post, KCRW UnFictional, KCET Departures, Sinister Wisdom, and other literary journals.
