Tiffany Promise received an MFA from CalArts, where she completed a novel-length manuscript filled with creepily beautiful poetic fiction. Her undergraduate life was situated in New York City at Sarah Lawrence College and Eugene Lang College, where she immersed herself in women’s studies, literature, and slam poetry. After obtaining her MA from CIIS in Counseling Psychology, she has been working for the last few years in San Francisco as a psychotherapy intern--she uses her literary and arts background to inform her therapeutic work, focusing on metaphor, imagery, and the archetypes that link our internal experiences to a vast collectivity. She also uses her deep understanding of psychological processes and subconscious wanderings to inform her creative writing.
Tiffany has performed her poetry and fiction all over the United States, from REDCAT in Los Angeles, to back-rooms of dingy, indie coffee shops in Jersey City. She loves reading her work (whether it is poetry or fiction) and is looking to do more of that in Los Angeles.

Tiffany's sensibilities are greatly influenced by feminism, punk rock, trips to Disneyland, and the phases of the moon.
