Margherita is an Italian-American writer, tri-lingual storyteller, and journalism MA student at École du Journalisme de Nice, France. Her favorite books are Le Cose che nessuno sa by Alessandro D’Avenia and Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Born in California to Italian immigrant parents, Margherita’s dream of becoming an author was inspired by an intense love of reading. In her early childhood she read bedtime stories with her father to improve her English, and quickly became fluent in English, Italian, and French.

In 2020 she won the Boston College McCarthy Award for best collection of creative writing, and shortly after she graduated summa cum laude with a BA in English and minors in Creative Writing, Ancient History, and French. Margherita then had a brief stint at a start-up company before she returned to her lifelong passion for writing.

Between working on her next novel and working on her thesis, Margherita is also a freelance journalist, with work appearing in publications such as BBC Travel, Smithsonianmag.com, Discover Magazine, Atlas Obscura, and The Brussels Times Magazine.
