Dana Braziel-Solovy
TV Comedy and Genre Writer
Bio
In true bisexual fashion, Dana Braziel-Solovy hates having to choose, so she writes all types of comedy television: workplace, high concept, dark, light, hard, female-driven.
As a former Chicago punk rocker, Dana knows how to rebel but promises only to do so for good. Through properly timed, insensitive jokes, she hopes to help people see the world differently. Dana believes strongly in interpersonal understanding, which is why she spent time in Berlin studying German and continues to learn the silent language of circus arts.
​
Having grown up with a suicidal mother, Dana knows the importance of safe forms of escapism. Her writing seeks to lessen pain through laughter. Dana's first foray, a comic book mini-series, landed her on the Diamond indie bestsellers list twice.
​
To support her compulsive writing habits, Dana works as a television Art Director with credits on shows such as CSI: VEGAS and WANDAVISION.
