Tiena Prater was born and raised in Ohio. Tiena studied Creative Writing for Fine Arts at Full Sail University. However, she was crafting stories long before that. She started writing when she was 5; writing fanfiction before she knew the proper terminology. Space science piqued her interest and helped inspire many poems, short stories and other works of literature. Anime was the basis of her vast worldly creations. She has since ventured into multiple different genres and written various different pieces ranging from poems and short stories to novels and scripts. She has self-published multiple projects on an online and print platform. Her main objective is to promote mental health awareness and creativity in others through storytelling. “Imagination has taught me: you can have everything, even if only for a moment… and so I hope to inspire the next generation to be better, dream better, create better stories than anyone existing in the time before them.”
