Hello! I'm Sandy Allen.

​

I'm a journalist, writer and speaker.

 

I'm trans and queer and live in the Catskills. 

​

My work tends to focus on gender and mental health. ​

​

Here's more about me.

​​

​

My first book is called A Kind of Mirraculas Paradise: A True Story about Schizophrenia.

 

AKOMP tells the "true story" of the life of my Uncle Bob. 

 

It's also a reckoning to do with mental illnesses themselves and how we treat those diagnosed.​

​

Here's a website all about AKOMP.

​

Here are some FAQs about me and Bob and the book and all that.
