(Returning) Mona Hermant Bakshi
Poetry and Quotes Writer
Mrs Mona Hemant Bakshi was born and brought up in Saharanpur a district of Uttar Pradesh, India. At a mere age of twenty she got married to a businessman and started a new beginning in Lucknow - city of nawabs. Though she used to write since her teens but never cherished her write ups. She was encouraged by her three kids and husband to portray her write ups on social media. She joined Your Quotes in 2019 and Instagram in 2020, and after 2019 it was never looking back for her. Although she has participated in few Anthologies but her first solo book published under Notion press is Waves of emotions. Be true to your heart in expressing your self. Never change your style and try to copy other authors. Instead learn to be honest with your style. She is always motivated by my husband and kids, a beautiful trait inherited from my late mother. She tries to encourage her fellow writers and love to read their feedback.
(Returning) Emma Ugarelli
Psychologist, Educator and Writer
My name is Emma R. Ugarelli, and I am a psychologist, early childhood educator, and writer. I have authored five books in English and three books in Spanish. Since 2019, I have been working on my educational website. I was born and raised in Lima, Peru, where I studied psychology and worked with children and teenagers who had behavioural problems and learning disabilities. In 2002, I immigrated to Canada, where I studied early childhood education and have been working in this field for the past twenty-two years. During this time, I have provided care and learning opportunities to many children and their families. Through my work, I have come to appreciate the importance of early childhood education in shaping the future of our society. I recently closed my Daycare to focus on my educational website and my writing. Because I firmly believe that my writing and educational site can significantly contribute to making the world a better place. Apart from my professional life, I love reading mystery books and going for walks.
(Returning) J Alleyn Winchester
Literary & Spiritual Fantasy Author
J. Alleyn Winchester is the author of Artemis of the Dodekatheon and Nature Calls, Spring. Listening to his father play on his guitar before reading bedtime stories from the Children’s Book of Virtues, Aesop’s Fables, or The Chronicles of Narnia was a beloved bedtime ritual. He fell in love with how myth and lore shaped generations of cultures and studied storytelling from literary, theatrical, and spiritual perspectives from a young age. They inspired him to write his own tales, starting with one page shorts that would grow into a few chapters. In middle school, he found that stories helped him navigate the complexities of growing up with depression, anxiety, and alternative world views. When he was sixteen, he began developing three, far-reaching series that would later be called The Triad Sagas, two of which were Dodekatheon and Nature Calls. He married his high school sweetheart and muse who shares his love of storytelling with their feline familiar, Archibald. Together, they hope the Imaginings Universe plants new seeds of inspiration in the hearts and minds of generations now and to come.
