Meet Alana Cash, author, educator and award-winning film maker. She started out working as an accountant, landed a job at Lucasfilm and later at a high-profile literary agency.
Eventually she began taking writing classes and submitted a piece to a short story contest, which garnered her an honorable mention. “I was hooked,” she says. At that point Alana began writing more short stories, teaching writing courses and workshops, and writing the story that would become the book and movie Tom’s Wife. PBS chose Cash to be featured in their series A Writer’s Exchange, a program that profiled sixty U.S. teachers over ten years.
She’s made several documentaries about historic women and a feature film based on the story line from Tom’s Wife, which has won thirteen awards. Since the movie was so successful, Cash decided to publish the book as well.
