Author: Noel Wonders

I would say that my writing style can be a bit serious, yet is sprinkled with humor and drama. I enjoy writing fiction and poetry, although I occasionally become inspired to write lyrics. As a lover of sci-fi and fantasy, I find that I will either bring a tad of realism into fantasy or bring a hint of fantasy into the real world. When it comes to writing for YBA, I love pulling the reader into the room. I want readers to feel like they're sitting with the artist and me, taking part in the conversation and seeing the origin story unfold. Artist Features aren't just about artists, they're about everyone - creatives and those who enjoy what's created. Your mama, auntie, cousin and 'em. Outside of writing, I like to dabble in dance. My best performances are when I have the place to myself and can crank the music. I specialize in knee wobbles, spinning and being-on-the-floor.
