Maia Lee-Chin
Maia Lee-Chin is a lover of casual conversations with the ancient world and is convinced that all translations are autobiographical. She claims she was born to be a classicist, citing her Greek goddess namesake and her lineage, which includes some of the earliest African Americans to obtain college degrees. When not writing, Maia plays video games, cooks, cleans (begrudgingly), works in urban education, and tries not to use epic poetry as a roadmap for life. She has other work featured in Eidolon and Ancient Exchanges.
Originally from New York City, Maia now calls Boston home, where she studied Classical Languages and Education at Holy Cross in Worcester, MA. When she’s not writing or researching, Maia loves to share her thoughts and musings with her followers on social media. You can find her on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
If you’re interested in working with Maia, she is represented by Alyssa Jennette at Stonesong Literary Agency. Join the community eagerly awaiting the release of her first book!
