I write essays on various topics. I began publishing on the self-publishing platform Lulu and the Russian platform Litres. I became interested in the topic of LGBT because it is taboo in many countries, including Russia. I had previously studied US history and encountered this topic for the first time. As a result, I wrote two novellas on these topics. They are published on my Lulu page. I would like to publish my novels with a publishing house that specializes in these issues.
