What is your role at Storify? – Function

I am the CEO of Storify and the primary person in charge of our publishing house. As CEO, my job is to ensure that my colleagues have the best possible conditions to grow – both personally and professionally. We can only grow as a company if we have a thriving organization.

In my role as a publisher, I truly enjoy helping our authors improve their texts and stories to the fullest.

What motivates you?

I genuinely enjoy helping authors take the next step in their careers – whether it’s sharpening their language or selling their rights to another country.

Who are you as an author?

I see myself as a mix of 80s action comedies, 50s noir thrillers, and blockbuster entertainment. I promise to take readers on a fun, exciting, and compelling ride – with all the fixings and trimmings.

What drives you?

If I can make people forget the real world for a few hours and simply enjoy themselves while immersed in one of my stories, then I’m a happy camper.

What is your role at Storify?

As the literary agent at Storify, I handle much of what goes on behind the scenes – from finances and administration to day-to-day operations. Often referred to as “the heart of the company,”

I make sure everything runs smoothly so our authors and stories can thrive.

What motivates me?

It’s about helping authors like ourselves grow and watching the company flourish while creating something meaningful together. That kind of drive comes from the heart.

Who are you as an author?

As an author, I love weaving together travel, experience, culture, and history.

I’ve written four travel-themed crime novels set in Greece, Egypt, and Turkey – all part of a planned 14-book series.

The next installment will take place in Mallorca. I’m also working on a feel-good novel, exploring the lighter, warmer sides of storytelling.

Name your latest book.

My latest project was contributing to an anthology about leadership – From Vision to Reality – where I shared my success stories and, above all, how to effectively achieve your goals.

What makes me an agent to be reckoned with?

I see what others miss.

I build stories that move mountains – and people.

From raw manuscript idea to finished book or film – I’m there every step of the way.

I represent voices that want to challenge, inspire, and take up space.

3 things I wish I’d known as a new agent:

1. You’re not too much – you’re exactly what the industry needs.

   Dream big. Take up space. Trust your gut.

2. Don’t say no to your wild ideas – they’re your superpower.

   The projects that feel the most uncomfortable often become the most unforgettable.

3. Don’t forget to celebrate – even in the eye of the storm.

   Every win, every step forward, deserves your recognition.

What do you do at Storify?

I work as a translator, audiobook narrator, and creator of book covers, trailers, and ads – both in the form of short videos and visuals.

What motivates you?

Honestly? I’m not always sure. But it’s about helping authors like ourselves and watching the company thrive while creating something meaningful together. It’s a drive that comes straight from the heart.

Who are you as an author?

I love creating fairytales for grown-ups – with complex characters, beautiful fantasy worlds, and emotions that linger. I write to feel. It’s my way of beautifying the world and stepping into something greater than everyday life.

What drives you?

The joy of storytelling. The thrill of building something from scratch. And the desire to give others the same experience I love finding in books myself.

Name your latest book.

My latest book is The Ice Wolf – a shifter romance about impossible love, loyalty, and all those forces that draw people together, even when they shouldn’t.

I’m currently working on two dark romantasy projects that I’d describe as slow burn enemies-to-lovers.
