About Me

Evany Thomas is the author of The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple's Guide to the Thirty-Nine Positions (described as "hugely entertaining and smart" by O Magazine). Her work has been featured in print publications (including McSweeney's Quarterly Concern, Fray, Horses for Juniors, Swivel), on websites (Sundance Film Festival, Television Without Pity, The Morning News, Wired), and in anthologies (Welcome to Wisteria Lane, The Ex-Files). KUOW, Playboy Radio, and Michigan's Mix106 Morning Madhouse have all featured Evany as a guest on their shows, and she has also educated audiences far (Seattle's Bumbershoot Festival, the NYC comedy reading series How to Kick People) and wide (San Francisco's NoisePop Festival, McSweeney's The World Explained show) about the true meaning of a person's chosen sleeping position. Evany lives in El Cerrito with her baby, boyfriend, cat, dog, turtle, and her many, many shoes.
