About Me

Ava Love Hanna - writer & storytellerHi, I’m Ava Love Hanna! I'm a professional writerpublished playwright, and award-winning speaker and storyteller.

I write things like essays, satire, playsjokes, and stories. They're usually funny.

Sometimes my plays or sketches are on stage, sometimes I am. Sometimes, both things happen at the same time.

I'm a proud member of ScriptWorks. I also write the weekly member newsletter, so if you're looking for one more way to get me in your inbox, you should join!

I'm the co-host of the new comedy/storytelling podcast, Stories Found. Send us a funny story!
