Executive Editor
Julia
Julia dislikes three things the most; celery, ironing clothes and introducing herself. “I like to think and talk about feelings, that’s why I choose to be a writer,” she says. She writes love poems (majorly in Russian by the way,) and about the sea (she is ‘A Poet of Black Sea’). Apart from being a poet and a writer, she studied journalism at one of the major Universities in Russia and worked for a couple of newspapers.
