Tomiko M. Breland

Tomiko Breland grew up in Monterey, California, with an early hunger for writing borne under the auspices of Roald Dahl and Madeline L’Engle, Jules Verne, and C. S. Lewis. In her writing, she is interested in pushing the boundaries of form in order to test the boundaries of emotion. She received her BA in English from Stanford University and her MA in fiction writing from the Johns Hopkins University. Tomiko’s fiction placed in the 2014 Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Contest, and she is currently completing her first novel.
