Julia Kitvaria Sarene

Kitvaria Sarene has been a bookseller and purchaser in Germany since 2003. Her love of books only grew over the years, just as her love for fantasy and sci-fi did! Especially interested in indie publishing and discovering new talents, she was a judge for SPFBO from 2018-2021. She reads every subgenre and style of fantasy, as long as it’s not overly romantic! And we simply won’t mention her slight audiobook addiction here… When she's not reading you can find her out running through the woods, or hunting (foam!) animals with her bow and arrows. You can also find her on Instagram: @juliakitvariasarene
