Shawna Kaszer writes emotionally layered stories that unearth the hidden and hold it to the light. Her work is rich with spiritual symbolism and meaning. Haunting, healing, and calling you home.

Shawna has worked in film and theater in Los Angeles and New York. She co-produced the award-winning documentary All I Can Say, which tells the story of Blind Melon frontman Shannon Hoon through his own archival footage. Directed by Danny Clinch, the film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

In 2015, she co-founded KZR House, a story-driven agency, with her husband, shaping identity and messaging through purpose-driven stories and campaigns for global organizations like UNICEF, Converse, Many Hopes, Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez, and Bono’s EDEN.

She’s the author of Mountains Into Roads and is currently at work on her next novel – a generational family drama exploring estrangement, legacy, and returning home.

In 2026, she launches The Storytelling House, equipping and coming alongside others in the craft of narrative architecture, identity, and storytelling.

When not writing, Shawna’s raising her three young children, cozying up for a movie night with her husband, homeschooling, dance-partying, getting her hands dirty in her garden, baking something a little too sweet, and trying to live with intention and faith. She writes from a place of deep reflection and quiet strength, with just enough humor to survive it all. Her hope is to offer readers the same.
