Education
Anastasia holds a bachelor’s degree in English with a sequence in education from Illinois State University. She also has a K-12 visual arts teaching endorsement. God-willing, in the summer of 2025, she will graduate with a Master’s of Arts in Writing from Northwestern University and maybe stop doing so much homework.
Where It Started
Anastasia started writing stories when she was in elementary school, and she was often scribbling down pages of fanfiction when she should have been paying attention in math class. She fell in love with reading because her parents used to take her to the library to check out books. She developed a book hoarding addiction at first when she refused to return her library books, and later when her parents obliged her impulses by bringing her to Barnes & Noble in lieu of libraries.
