I am currently attending Harvard and pursuing a degree in Humanities. My passion is books and writing. Books taught me things about myself, the world, and society in ways I never thought possible. It is thanks to books I know who I am and allowed me to discover my passion for writing. There is nothing like crafting characters and capturing the voice of a story, bringing it to life on the pages. Thanks to every bookish bestie in the book world, it has allowed me to spread my joy of reading to people worldwide!

Interview with Author G.S. Eli I am super excited to be featuring this exclusive interview with the author of The Last of the Magi releasing April 16th. If you haven’t already read my exclusive look into this book, CLICK HERE. What inspired you to start writing The Last Magi? I noticed that the Roma (Gypsy) people had no role models, no one to look up to or inspire to be like. So as a filmmaker, I realized that fictional role models could give the same inspiration as real ones—i.e., James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, etc. etc. Did you always want to be…
