affected his way of thinking. He writes stories for the child each one of us

non-commercial space from which books are distributed for free. He’s the author
of “Creative class with enough imagination”, “The magic bookmark” and

John lives in Athens and is a fan of books, meaning he is a bookworm and a fanatic one at that! He enjoys experimenting with languages and behaviors of humanity and watch at his experiments flourish, after a day full of reading. He has studied the Social and Political Sciences in Panteion University and consequently he developed a different, sweeter stance towards life. Books are always there for him as he tries to preserve that stance. His other field of expertise is translation and education of those who love experimenting and along with them he struggles every day to learn more about the greatest ongoing experiment in recorded history: Life

Tina Moschovi was born and raised in Heraklion, Crete. She has studied English Language and Literature at
the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with specialization at translation and
audiovisual translation. She has always loved books. This love developed into
love for translation during her undergraduate studies. However, she tries to

seminars and programs.
Apart from English she can speak German fluently while
she has attended computer lessons. She has been working together with young
learners as an English teacher in the private sector since she graduated. She
