Ayun Halliday (pronounced as "Ann") is a writer and actor.
She is best known as the author and illustrator (or, as Halliday herself terms it, "the chief primatologist") of the long-running zine The East Village Inky. The zine got its name from Halliday's living in New York City's East Village, and "Inky" being the nickname of her then-infant daughter India.
Her first graphic novel, Peanut, was published in December 2012 and was positively reviewed by the New York Times.
Initially named "Anne", Halliday was born in Indianapolis, Indiana, on March 29, 1965. She has no siblings. She attended Park Tudor School and Northwestern University, where she obtained a degree in theater performance. After graduating, she joined the Neo-Futurists, an experimental theater troupe in Chicago. It was during her tenure with the troupe that she met her husband, playwright Greg Kotis.
She lives in East Harlem, New York, with Kotis and their son Milo. Their daughter is actor India Kotis.
She participates yearly in the Coney Island Mermaid Parade.
