About this author

edit data

Niya Sisk is fascinated by how the nonsensical in storytelling somehow makes sense in life. She was mesmerized by Dr. Seuss as a child. She likes to tell stories visually first and then follow the thread—the unifying elements that make the character come alive.

Niya is also the author of Bragging Bantering Bawling Collected Short Stories. She is the founding editor of Curly Red Stories flash fiction journal with nearly thirty writers and interviews. She received her MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a certificate in screenwriting from UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television.

She is working on her next 2 illustrated books.
