About the author

Mayara Barros

Born in 1992 in Rio de Janeiro. Ever since I was little, I enjoyed reading, tuning out of the world with a book in my hands. The dream of being a writer was born with Harry PotterHarry Potter, that inspires my to this day. I'm a cis woman, my pronouns are she / her / hers. I'm also demisexual and demiromantic. I have a Master's Degree in Comunication (Uerj) and I am currently enrolled in a PhD program in Communication at Uerj. I published Caleidoscópio, with Editora Illuminare, and self-published CrystallineA Guardiã da Magia and Preferida, as ebooks, available on Gumroad. I have short stories featured in the following anthologies: Contos de FadaAnjos e Demônios, by Editora Illuminare; Valquírias, by Darda Editora, and Momentum, edited by Gabriela Martins. I act as editor-in-chief for Revista Avessa since 2014, and keep a personal blog, Naive Heart, since 2011.
