Parisa Akhbari
Parisa Akhbari (@authorparisa) is a mental health therapist and writer from Seattle, Washington. Her favorite Catholic school memory is of playing a nun in her school’s production of The Sound of Music, and inadvertently developing crushes on several of the other nuns. Parisa’s debut YA novel, Just Another Epic Love Poem, follows two queer best friends in Catholic school as they fall in love through the pages of a never-ending poem they've been writing back and forth for five years. Sign up for her newsletter for a monthly dose of fun arts and culture finds with a spotlight on marginalized creators.
