Elora Sofia

Elora was born in 2010 and is still not old enough to drive. She divides her time between writing books, drawing characters, and mercilessly defeating goblins in the forest with her LARP group. Currently honing her skills under the guidance of a professional editor, storyboard artist, and graphic designer, Elora is also accepting commissions for illustrations, comics, children's books, and more.

 

Elora's book was a regional winner in the 2024 Scholastic Arts and Writing contest. 

​

Elora said, “The Guardians was created because I was tired of wishing it existed. I love writing, so I saw it as the perfect opportunity to create the feline world I imagined. If I could go back in time and hand it to my younger self, she’d probably read it 50 times and demand a sequel. Writing it was like building my dream world from scratch, complete with characters I absolutely adore (and sometimes torment). Whether readers laugh, cry, or shout at my plot twists, I hope they love this ride as much as I do."

 

Homeschooled and brimming with curiosity, she has also begun inspiring others through her speeches at schools and interviews with local media. And of course, as any creative soul might, she has a special place in her heart for cats.
