Hello!

I'm Sandy Ernest Allen.

​

I'm a writer. My writing and speaking tends to focus on gender and mental health. Here's more about me. 

​

My first book is called A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise. It tells story of the life of my Uncle Bob. It's also a reckoning to do with how we treat those deemed abnormal by psychiatry and society. ​Here are some FAQs about Uncle Bob and AKOMP and me. I hope you'll consider buying the book or the audiobook.

​

Here are links to my essays, articles and radio stories. Here's a mental health resources page. Check out my podcast, Mad Chat, which unpacks our pop culture's messages about mental health.
