Shani Raviv is a published writer, writing coach, copywriter/content producer, and speaker who was born and raised in South Africa. She disputes the belief that an anorexic mindset is a life sentence and considers herself fully recovered. She lives in the Bay Area of California with her son.
“A fascinating window into the frightening and relentless world of
anorexia and, equally, young womanhood.”
—Katherine Boyle, Veritas Literary Agency
“Ms. Raviv is a fabulous writer and did an amazing job of
simultaneously showing how her eating disorder functioned to keep
her from being conscious of the underlying issues while in the
depths of it, and showing the reader how all of her behaviors,
thoughts and feelings were directly related to those underlying
issues.”
—Susie Roman, MA, Director of Programs, National Eating Disorders
Association
“Shani’s openness and clarity in sharing her experience with
anorexia gave my students a unique opportunity to gain empathy and
understanding for the living of an eating disorder. I know it will
make them better therapists.”
—Dr. John Deninno, clinical psychologist and eating disorder
elective instructor, Bastyr University
“Shani Raviv is a great inspiration to the many millions out there
struggling with eating disorders. Her book Being Ana is honest,
sensitive, witty, brutal, and so much more.”
—Graham Alexander, MA (Clin.Psych.)(UCT), Director of Crescent
Clinic Eating Disorders Unit
“Being Ana is not only an insightful, raw, and thought-provoking
memoir detailing a subject most people know little about, it is
also a work by an author who understands how to present a difficult
subject with humor and aplomb. Even though the book took her eight
years to complete, there is an aching immediacy within these
pages.”
—Leighanne Law, Elliott Bay Book Co.
