Meet Davona

Born in the Bronx and raised between the bustling borough and the respite of the Catskill Mountains, Davona has the unique perspective that comes from being exposed to a wide variety of life and culture while also appreciating the beauty of disappearing into the trees. She loves the constant noise of a city and the trickle of a hidden stream.
​
Davona graduated from the University at Albany with a Bachelor's Degree in English. Her studies and absolute love of storytelling have ultimately led to her becoming a freelance editor and pursuing publication full-time.
​
When she isn't writing or editing, Davona can be found watching Downton Abbey on repeat, drinking her weight in hot cups of tea year-round, and pining for the holiday season.
