Miriam Jayaratna has a doctorate in clinical psychology, but she’s determined to not let that stop her from writing deranged comedy for the internet.

Her short humor has appeared in publications like The New Yorker’s Shouts and Murmurs, Reductress, and McSweeney’s Internet Tendency.

She also teaches a workshop through the St. Nell’s Humor Residency, The Soft Skills of Humor Writing.

You can do a deeper dive into Miriam’s psyche by following her on Bluesky and Instagram, or by asking her to write for / star in / provide group therapy for the cast of your TV show.
