Donna Debs

In 2008—determined to cleanse the chaos in her mind by laughing at it—Donna Debs began writing the humor column “Upside Down” for several Philadelphia-area newspapers, including the Daily Local News and The Times Herald. Wash Your Brain is her first story collection.

Donna is also a former news reporter and editor for Philadelphia’s KYW Radio, and, for twenty-five years, she owned a writing/communications company, working with major corporate and nonprofit clients.

If you peek into her window—but please don’t!—you may find Donna upside down in a headstand or handstand, trying to wash her brain that way, too. Since the late 1990s, she has doubled as an Iyengar yoga teacher with an active yoga studio.
