Hi, I’m Ava Love Hanna! I'm a professional writer, published playwright, and award-winning speaker and storyteller.
I write things like essays, satire, plays, jokes, 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!
