Raised by two talented storytellers, who immigrated to Canada from Crete, Greece, Sofia’s work draws on her Greek heritage and summers spent abroad. Her poetry, nonfiction, and photography has been published in a variety of literary journals and she released Island Life to City Life as part of Heinemann’s Shared Reading Collection.

Sofia is passionate about sustainability and her work in the fantasy genre explores the possibility of an ecologically harmonious future.

One of the best parts of her job is the opportunity to interview and learn from inspiring individuals making strides around the world.

Sofia is an avid hiker who chases sunrises and misty mornings. She likes to bake almost as much as she enjoys photographing her creations.
