Alya studied Law and Human Rights and helped people with their legal issues. But her real passion has always been WRITING! Her first attempts at writing resulted in short stories just for herself and her family, but overtime the audience of her readers grew wider.

In the early 2000s, she became a winner of the writing competition "A letter to the man I've lost" organized among all schools in the country.

It was until one day, or "once upon a time" (like in every fairy tale!) she found herself in "The School for Young Writers" and... fell in love with fiction! During the course, she wrote 11 short stories and 2 fairy tales.

Alya's article on reading was published in the blog «PaPa Lingua» https://goo.gl/I6AYuv (in Russian) and on her FB page https://goo.gl/5AyC7t (in English).

Alya has got two nice daughters who are major listeners and readers of her fairytales and a passion for hand-made things that she uses in making up her interactive books for children.
