Teresa Berkowitz is a writer and poet from Portland Maine. Teresa grew up in a family of storytellers. She believes that the greatest truths can be found in fiction and real life can be strangely surreal and dramatic.

As a young woman Teresa would explore the headlands in Marin equipped with a bottle of water, trail mix and a journal. She would let the trails take her to black sand beaches or redwood groves. In those sacred spaces, she would take what troubled her and craft fairytales. She would return transformed. She began to share her stories.

Her work has been published in literary journals.

Teresa is the founder and editor of Tangled Locks Journal, an online literary journal committed to sharing complex, well-rounded stories, poetry and essays that define the experience and lives of women. Teresa is committed to amplifying writer’s voices in social media as a means for to enhance personal expression and to impact positive change.
