Violeta M Bagia (Andrea Nekic is NOT Fine)

Violeta M. Bagia is an advocate for sexual assault survivors, having her own story to drive this change. She is passionate about writing strong female leads who learn and grow throughout the worlds they're thrown into. Violeta has written eleven books and published seven, both traditionally and independently, gaining a unique insight into the industry and a grasp for what works and what doesn't. She recently signed a three-book deal with Vulpine Press for the Ceoran Chronicles. With her industry insights and a Master of Arts, Graduate Certificate of Writing and Literature and a Diploma of Professional Writing under her belt, Violeta knows a little about words and so offers coaching to other writers, enabling them to truly craft their stories. While working tirelessly to bring new fantastical worlds to readers, her most ambitious and passionate project to date is a coming of age novel about growing up in the suburbs of Melbourne as an ethnic goody-two-shoes. Andrea Nekić is NOT Fine is the story of a young girl's battle to not only make it through year 12 but also survive sexual assault and bullying.
