The Short Story by Ava Love Hanna

Welcome to The Short Story!

The Short Story is a bi-weekly curated collection of things to read, watch, or think about relating to a central theme.

Like a good short story, I’m aiming for thoughtful brevity, with just enough material to give us something to ponder or make us laugh before we jump back into our day.

Hi, I’m Ava Love Hanna!

I'm a professional writerpublished playwright, and award-winning speaker and storyteller in Austin, Texas.

I write things like essayssatireplays, 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 the co-host of the new comedy/storytelling podcast, Stories Found

Writer and storyteller. Continually amazed by how often I'm mistaken for a real grown-up. Part of the funny on the Stories Found podcast.
