Naomi Evelyn is a fantasy author, artist, and freelance writer. As a child, Naomi had difficulty learning how to read but she wanted to read more than anything in the world. Due to this and her parent’s rule, that she had to read the book before she watched the movie, Naomi read books such as The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien in third grade. She went on to read many books from Cornelia Funke, C. S. Lewis, Jane Austen, Neil Gaiman, and Brandon Sanderson among others. She discovered his works when she was fifteen and that was the single biggest turning point in her drive to be a writer. She continues to read his books and follow his career to this day.

Naomi didn’t truly discover her love of writing until her junior year of college though she always had millions of ideas and tried to write stories as a kid. Naomi graduated from Eastern University with a double major in business administration and marketing as well as a minor in writing. One of the most pivotal college courses she took as a part of her minor was titled, Writing for Publication. This course and the two professors who taught it showed her that she could get published and should be submitting her stories. Naomi also published a poem in Eastern University’s literary magazine, Inklings.
