about
Dayna Mahannah grew up in West Kelowna, BC, the territory of the Syilx and Okanagan people. She now lives in Vancouver with her partner and their uncategorizable mutt. Dayna’s work appears or is forthcoming in Geist, Electric Literature, NUVO, TRUE Africa, and HELD Mag. She was a contributing editor at Beatroute Magazine, and a campaign manager at Adbusters. A graduate of SFU’s The Writers Studio and third year MFA candidate of UBC’s Creative Writing program, Dayna is currently writing a memoir about working as a reporter in Ghana—a story about the cost of ambition and the misfortune of finding yourself wherever you go.
