SANDY ERNEST ALLEN

​​

Hello! I'm Sandy Ernest. 

​

I'm an author and journalist. I tend to write and speak about mental health and gender.

​

My first book is called A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise: A True Story about Schizophrenia (Scribner). It tells story of the life of my Uncle Bob. It also explores how we as a society treat those deemed abnormal. 

​

Here are some FAQs about me and the book and Uncle Bob.

 

I hope you'll consider reading it or the listening to the audiobook.

​

Here's more about me.

Here are links to my essays and radio stories.

Here is a mental health-focused resources page.
