Tina Drakakis

Bio: I am a mom, a wife, a writer, a blogger and (most important) a Former-Reality-TV-Star. Really. You can Google it. Just made it into the Boston Globe & I've been featured in HuffPost a couple of times (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/empty-nest-syndrome-kids_n_62bad8a9e4b080fb670a224b) and (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/lose-friends-new-years-resolution_n_61b79733e4b00aca716a69cc) and was in the inaugural cast of "Listen To Your Mother, Boston" sharing my original essay, "The Thinking Girl's Thong." I get pretty stoked when the Today show's Parent section runs my work because well, that's just cool. I was featured in NPR’s “This I Believe” radio series yet I'd say “Most Popular 1984” is pretty high on my list of achievements (next would be that home improvement reality TV show of 2003 but my kids forbid me to talk about it anymore). I would leave my husband for Jon Stewart, either Hemsworth brother or Sawyer from "Lost" and he is well aware of it (my husband ... not Sawyer.) I am happiest writing and watching the four impressive young adults I own... I drink WAY too much wine if the music is awesome (and since my music is awesome that tends to be an issue at times)... and I still have a bestie from fifth grade. I tend to steer clear from women who don't. My fave published pieces include "Little Baby Fug," "The Thinking Girl's Thong" and "Friendvy." My collection of essays, A Momoir, is a work in progress and various chapters are posted -- agent interest is welcomed!
