Sophia Elaine Hanson

Sophia has been writing novels, short stories, and poems since she was still losing her baby teeth. Throughout her high school career she amassed an impressive 35 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards including two National Gold Medals for science fiction short stories. She has twice been accepted for publication in international young writer journals (Polyphony HS and The Claremont Review). She now resides in New York City as a student at her dream school, NYU. Sophia grew up in Iowa with two dogs and two fantastic parents. She is a 2015 graduate of Lake Forest Academy boarding school in Illinois. She loves dogs, books, and thunderstorms and hates racists, homophobes, and cantaloupe. She has a cactus named Nao because her dorm prohibits pets.
