Afsaneh Moradian has loved writing stories, poetry, and plays since childhood.

After receiving her master's in education, she took her love of writing into the classroom where she began teaching children how to channel their creativity. Her passion for teaching has lasted for over fifteen years.

Afsaneh now guides students and teachers (and her young child) in the art of writing. She is also a vocal advocate for diversity and representation in children's books.

Afsaneh lives in New York City and Oaxaca, Mexico.
