T.M. Caufield

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, T.M. Caufield, (aka Tasha Caufield), began writing jokes at the age of fourteen when she joined a sitcom writing workshop. Later working in a one-on-one mentorship with workshop instructor and television writer/producer Lisa Rosenthal, (The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Head of the Class), Tasha's writing eventually gained her admittance to University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television, along with a Warner Bros. Fellowship and work in Hollywood. As an artist, Tasha dedicates herself to supporting others in staying true to themselves and living their best life. She has directed and produced the documentary, "The Makings of a Stand-Up Comedian," which shows aspiring comics the importance of finding their voice, as well as the web series, "What's So Funny?" which explores the relationship between comedy and pain and how comics can healthily use the former to triumph over the latter. Her book, "A.W.O.L: How to Escape the Juvenile Justice System and Experience Inner Peace," has been praised as inspiring and influential among incarcerated youth, and "The Art of Laziness: What Creatives Do When Doing Nothing" helps artists and entrepreneurs better understand the seemingly unproductive part of the creative process. With a love of literature, Tasha has also published several fiction novels, including her debut novel, "Rewriting Harry Potter," a tale inspired by her life and stand-up, followed by "The Care and Feeding of Sex Symbols" and "Serial Killer." She is the youngest of four children, and splits her time between Los Angeles, CA and Palm Beach, FL.
