Hello, I’m Jason Sarna, MFA!

I am a writer with an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Idaho. Prior to attending graduate school, I studied screenwriting at UCLA, sketch comedy writing at The Second City in Chicago, prose writing with Nancy Beckett, and playwriting at Victory Gardens Theatre. My first novel, Night Burger, was self-published in 2014.

In 2018, I started teaching at Reno Improv (I also have a background in improv comedy, acting, and stage directing), where I served as Education Chair from 2023-2024 and founded the sketch comedy writing program.

My mission with Iconoclast Writing is to educate, inspire, and support writers who wish to progress in their art, expand their creative consciousness, and engage with community. I also offer creative writing services to those who are interested.
