"Have you always wanted to write the perfect story? Explore your inner visions and commit them to paper? Be prepared, Tantra Bensko will set you on fire...as a teacher she has the unique gift to be able to identify within you your innate spark of creativity and ignite the ether of your imagination, to reveal to you the magic of your words. She is that good. As a writer I can testify to the value of working with Tantra. Growing up I have always enjoyed words. I love to spin them around, phrasing moments in time, to make them clear and born anew. And when I took her class, Tantra got that right away and encouraged me to play with the tools of language, providing me resources to help stretch my imagination. With her tutorship, I was able to refine my writing skills while retaining the desire to honor that which flows from the heart. That is a very good thing. I wholeheartedly recommend you take this class and allow Tantra to help you to bring your writing up to the next level." --

While I teach a wide variety of ways and subjects on my own, I love teaching with UCLA X Writing Program and encourage all who want that kind of training in available subjects to study with me there.
"Thank you! I've learned so much from this class--no lists! show don't tell! and more!--and will revise and continue with these thoughts in mind. And I hope once the holidays are over that I will have time to read more of the others' work and your notes to them. You're just great. A wonderful teacher. I really, really appreciate your thoughts and guidance! I can't thank you enough for your wise words!" Christy Hobart
"Thank you, again, for such a fun course. I can't believe how much I learned in such a short time. I feel that I can really see my improvements as a writer, which is cool and satisfying!" Jeanine

Interview, at Literary Orphans.
Academics: I studied at the University of Alabama, and writing classes at Old Dominion, before I completed my B.A. and and M.A. in English from FSU, while teaching Composition, and then taught at Memphis State, and went on to get my M.F.A. at University of Iowa Writing Workshop on a teaching scholarship. I also have a certification in screenwriting and in the 160 hour accredited Master Class in TEFL with TEFL Anytime and have taken many screenwriting courses from ScreenwritingU.
Publication credentials: The novels in The Agents of the Nevermind have been widely reviewed by professionals as well as a large number of Amazon reviewers and bloggers, with highly positive marks. My print book from ELJ Publications, is a Neo-Noir Slipstream novella called Equinox Mirror. My first full length collection of short stories, Lucid Membrane, was put out by Night Publishing, and my second is Collapsible Horizon. My chapbooks include Liminal, poetry from 10 Pages Press, Watching the Windows Sleep, stories from Naissance Press and The Cabinet of What You Don't See from ISMs Press.
I already mentioned the awards for my novels. I have various other awards for my shorter, Literary work, such as one from the Iowa Journal of Literary Studies, PunkPen, The Academy of American Poets Award, the Oblongata award from Medulla Review, two awards from Cezanne's Carrot, short list by Glimmertrain, finalist at Flash Mob, Editor's Picks from Bewildering Stories; and I have been nominated seven times for the Pushcart Prize, and also nominated for Best of the Net.
I have sold an equally substantial number of articles, and ghost-wrote a book on natural health. My fiction has been in a variety of anthologies, such as Press 53's Surreal South, North of Wakulla, Women Writing the Weird I and II, Quantum Genre on the Planet of the Arts, Up, Do Anthology of Flash Fiction by Women, Not Somewhere Else But Here, Exquisis Anthology, Ironic Fantastic, Looking Back, Redacted Stories, Writing Without Walls, Cellar Door III, No Sight for the Saved, and many others. Dog Horn's Dogcast Central has also presented many audio stories. My fiction is in a substantial number of magazines, including Zymbol, Fiction International, Journal of Experimental Fiction, And/Or, Writing Disorder, Mystic Signals, Triangulation: Parch, Axolotl, Latchkey Tales, and many others.
&Now Festival of New Writing: Tomorrowland Forever presented my work as a video, in San Diego, and then I was on a panel in 2015 and I read at AWP Chicago. You can read about the event in this L.A. Times article. I Guest Edited the Volume 2, Issue #3 (Prosetry and Lucid Fiction) of Medulla Review. I also have a substantial number of poetry publications, with awards.
Continued teaching and editing: I taught through Writers College for years until the school closed. I began teaching at UCLA Extension Writing Program in 2010. I always adore teaching these classes semester after semester, and UCLA X., and recommend these to anyone who enjoys the online workshop experience. I also love teaching with Writers.com! I have edited many authors' work, including that of publishers, editors, and writing teachers. I have also taught young people creative writing through Le Bonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis, and as a guest teacher at schools in Alabama, as well as in Romania in an island on the Danube.
Publishing: I've promoted understanding and exploration of Experimental Literature through reviewing, writing literary theory, running Exclusive Magazine, LucidPlay Publishing where I put out online and print small books, the Experimental Writing resource site which contains extensive links about the topic, and the FlameFlower Experimental Short Story Contest.
Fiction Writing Style: My novels are straightforward and meant for a large readership, while they have their own take on the subjects that are a little different from the norm. They are psychological suspense, so the is a question about some suspicious characters, and the mental states of the protagonists tend to be challenged with overwhelming events. While I write traditional style Genre fiction, I've been most often told my older Literary fiction reminds people of Julio Cortazar, Jorge Borges, Tom Robbins, Murikami, Brautigan, Barthe, and Italo Calvino. Some of my favorite authors include those and Virginia Woolf, Kyle Muntz, Stephen-Paul Martin, Edmond Caldwell, and Paul Barnett. I've published Literary Fiction in many styles including Meta-fiction, Absurdism, Irreal, Bizarro, Realism, Magical Realism, New Wave Fabulism, Neo-Surrealism, Quantum Fiction, Lucid Fiction, Prosetry, Minimalism, Slipstream, New Weird, and Experimental Literature, Mainstream, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror.
Movies: I co-wrote many comedy movies directed and produced by Paul Cordes Wilm's Forkitude Productions, and created several of my own as well, one of which was in the Columbia International Film Festival. I created music videos for musicians and also for our own Ruby Fire Household Orchestra. LucidPlay also partnered with another production company to put out professional instructional DVDs.

“A writer - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art.”
― Jorge Luis Borges
Websites with dozens of great quotes from classes are now down, and it seems sort of silly somehow to start over with random new ones at this point, though the feedback is consistently good on a daily basis for years. But, OK, here we go. . . .
"Tantra Look at this! I did it!
I just checked my inbox and I got notice about the Writer's Digest Competition. My piece "Hot Coffee Coming Through" won 10th place! I'll get $25 cash to spend at the Writer's Digest store. Even better, my story will be published in the November/December issue of Writer's Digest! Barnes & Noble carries Writer's Digest. Soon I'll be in Barnes & Noble! I can't believe it! I did it! Do the wave! Thank you Lord!"

" Tantra!!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!! I am soo excited, this morning I checked my email. saw it was from an online mag I submitted to, only this time, they love my story and want to include it in a special themed issue!!!!!!!
the editor said she read it 3 times and kept coming back to it while reading other submissions, and couldn’t get it out of her head!!!??
the way I found this magazine is thru that curbside splendor event, I did some research after, and found this mag. the two things in my favor were the themed issue, and also BLIND submissions, which for me, is great because I have nothing to list as far as published work, and I have no degree in creative writing etc etc. so I never know what to put in a bio....here I didn’t have one!
I sent Bombay Beach Christmas, super short and the theme is hotel culture. http://www.hobartpulp.com/ this is the magazine... (do you know this one?) thank you so so much for all your brilliance, your help and guidance and suggestions and everything!! I keep going!!
LOVE YOU!!!! You are AWESOME!!!"
"Thank you, Tantra. Your comments and the questions you inserted really helped. I realized I moved the story way too fast, and I did that with many cliches. Can't be good! I will (hope to) make it as much mainstream as possible, without hopefully losing the spiritual twist.
This class helped me see my flaws, and nothing can be a greater gift. Thanks!"
"With SO many choices in literary magazines out there, I was pretty lost, before I started this course. Tantra's hints and places to start looking was definitely a big help on trying to navigate this area. What a thrilling experience this all is. I do hope to keep in touch with the class. This course was definitely a soul searching time for me and a great learning experience."
"Hello Tantra,
I hope all is well with you. I have something nice to tell you.
I recently made my first short story sale with Daily Science Fiction. And I just heard yesterday that I got admission at the Odyssey Online Class.
I wanted to thank you for all the encouragement you gave me. I received good feedback in your class and it has helped me a lot.
Thank you."
"The feedback I have had in this class has been really helpful in keeping me motivated and propelling me forward. This has been a lot of fun. Thanks for all of the learning and great feedback."
"I enjoyed class a lot - since I worked on my book a long time, I thought it was a in good shape, but you helped me see just how much improvement it needs. Thanks a lot, really. I needed this feedback."
"Thank you for the wonderful course and for having helped me to grow so much in these 10 weeks. It was really important to me to be part of this group and develop each assignment. Mariana."
"I loved working with you. The story that emerged is something I'm excited by. I feel inspired again, also because you offer ways of working towards structure from an experimental angle. Lisa."
