Dana Herrnstadt

Instructor

Dana is beyond excited to join Writopia Lab! She graduated from Brown University, where she studied English and wrote a thesis about vampires, gender, and the entertainment industry. Dana writes creative nonfiction, comedy, and poetry, and she dabbles in fiction when she’s feeling adventurous. She’s drawn to offbeat topics related to the supernatural, history, gender, and the environment. Dana has a background in performing improv comedy and has been published in several comedy journals. Outside of writing, Dana likes to draw, run, and swim in cold bodies of water. She loves working with all of the clever, zany, and thoughtful writers in her workshops—it’s delightful!
