Hi, my name is Tanya Hilson, and to simply put it I love to write.

My passion for writing started at a young age and has stayed with me throughout my life, but I would never have thought in a million years that I'd be writing screenplays, stage plays, television pilots, or children's books due to my dyslexia. I like to write because it humbles me within, and it's therapeutic to me; sharing my stories with others brings me joy.

I'm a mother of two children and grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter. A passionate humanitarian to my core, I also run a nonprofit organization called WeLiveOn2, which supports low-income families by teaching them computer literacy and job readiness skills, as well as helping people who have been previously incarcerated obtain employment. We also run a program called "Sandwiches on Wheels," which helps feed the homeless within and around the Chicagoland area.

Outside of work, I love spending quality time with family, loved ones, and friends. I also enjoy cooking, playing cards, watching movies, and video games. Again, as I stated initially, I never thought I’d be writing Screenplays, Children's books, or Stage plays, but I love the joy of storytelling.
