Nadine Bells is a Gothic fantasy & horror from Germany, currently living in Cyprus. Her debut ONCE UPON A SONG, a dark Snow Queen retelling, releases in January 2026 with Quill & Crow Publishing House. She’s also an EFA-certified developmental editor. When she’s not reading or writing, she can be found swimming, gaming, or playing with her three cats.
When I was a mentee in 2022, I really appreciated the feedback and the advice I got from my mentor Lauren. Now, I want to give back and be on the other side of this relationship. I’m hoping to forge a long-term connection with someone beyond just the mentorship program and support them on the author journey the way my mentor supported me.
