Marilena Pappa

Born on February 11, 1988, she grew up in Nea Ionia, surrounded by notebooks filled with her thoughts and drawings, and with one big dream: "I want to write a book." And she did. Seven of them! She has collaborated with various sites and blogs as a columnist, writes theater reviews for theatro.gr, book reviews, and maintains her own blog, "I Think and Write"! She has participated in painting exhibitions, organized numerous performances across Greece, and her first book, "The Smiling Planet," was released with her own illustrations. She studied Public Administration at Panteion University and Journalism and Media at the Academy of Communication Studies. She has taken painting classes at the Municipality of Nea Ionia and sketching classes at the Ornerakis School.
