Ana O'Ridge

A trained translator, Ana O’Ridge stepped “to the other side” for the first time in 2023 with her young adult fantasy saga Nereia. In doing so, she began bringing her own worlds to life, alongside lending her pen to others.

Passionate about writing since the age of six, she was already inventing stories in primary school and sharing them with her classmates. In fifth grade, her “novel” of the moment was chosen by the school principal to serve as material for a creative writing lesson. She has never put down her pen—or her keyboard—since.

When she isn’t writing, she rereads Harry Potter for the umpteenth time, takes on all kinds of escape games, or dives headfirst into the worlds of video games.
