about

tania hershman

Born in London in 1970, I moved to Jerusalem, in 1994, and after 15 years in Israel, my partner and I, and our two cats, moved to Bristol in August 2009.

After making a living for 13 years as a science journalist, writing for publications such as WIRED, NewScientist, the MIT Technology Review and Business 2.0,  I gave it all up
to write fiction.

My first short story collection, The White Road and Other Stories, is now available from Salt Modern Fiction and was commended by the judges of the 2009 Orange Award for New Writers.

I am currently writer-in-residence in the Science Faculty at Bristol University.
I have just received a grant from Arts Council England to write a collection of biology-inspired short stories inspired both by a 100-year-old biology book and by spending time in the labs as writer- in-residence in Bristol University's Science Faculty. I am now blogging on the brand new Science Faculty blog. Stop by to read my latest tales from the lab.

My short and very short stories, plays and film scripts, have won or been shortlisted for various prizes,nominated for a Pushcart Prize,  been published in print and online, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and performed.  I blog about writing at TaniaWrites.

I am the founder and editor of The Short Review dedicated to reviewing short story collections and anthologies and showcasing short story authors.

Use the links above to read some of my fiction and the articles I wrote as a journalist, latest news, books my work has appeared in, and more. Drop me an email, visit my blog!
