Abstract Essay in its Fifth season, featuring Shanti Hershenson award-winning and bestselling author as my guest.

Shanti HershensonSixteen-year-old author of 30 books (with 17 published)!Since I was twelve years old, I have actively been writing and publishing books. I've written 30 books in varying genres, including You Won't Know Her Name, a novel-told-in-poetry about bullying in middle school. I've written Biome Lock, the first in a (completed) alien invasion series. The first book has been published, the others on the way. Besides Biome Lock, I've published The Accidental Insurgent, a dystopian standalone, and three books in a series called The Chronicles of Ziel DeLaine. I have many more published books that I am more than happy to expand on if needed. I can speak to your audience on any topic under the umbrella of writing and publishing books, particularly as a teen author. I also enjoy speaking about using the app TikTok to sell books, as I have amassed well over 50,000 followers on the platform. Besides writing, I can speak about anti-bullying, specifically in middle school, and anything related to that topic. Hosted on Acast.
