Ever since she sent her first letter in elementary school, she hasn’t stopped writing. It’s been about 25 years now, and her drawers are always full of pretty stationery, all sorts of postcards and thousands of pens. With a MA in English Literature, she always knew she’d end up writing… something. Whether it’s stories, novels or just letters, she doesn’t mind. She enjoys it all. And she hopes that she managed to give a magical glimpse into the world of writing old school letters to those who needed it.
