Kati Orav

I am a visual practitioner and teacher passionate about thinking with a pencil. Visual facilitation helps us think deeply and see the big picture, which means being more successful in learning, collaborating, leading, and whatever else life takes us.

I dream of a world where everyone can and dares to use drawing again as a tool for thinking and communication. Drawing and imagination are part of being human and help us rediscover and maintain the courage and playfulness to live meaningful lives. Therefore, I have made it my mission to promote the field of visual practices and bring it to as many people as possible.

Alain de Botton

Alain de Botton is a writer and television producer who lives in London and aims to make philosophy relevant to everyday life. He can be contacted by email directly via www.alaindebotton.com

He is a writer of essayistic books, which refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'

His first book, Essays in Love [titled On Love in the US], minutely analysed the process of falling in and out of love. The style of the book was unusual, because it mixed elements of a novel together with reflections and analyses normally found in a piece of non-fiction. It's a book of which many readers are still fondest.

Lucy Diamond

Librarian note:
There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name

First of all, a confession. My name isn’t really Lucy Diamond at all, it’s Sue Mongredien. I’ve used a pen name because ‘Diamond’ is a lot easier to spell and pronounce than ‘Mongredien’ and also because I’ve written lots of children’s books too and wanted to keep the genres separate. (There is actually another Lucy Diamond on Amazon who writes religious children’s books. That isn’t me, though.)

I was born in 1970 and grew up in Nottingham. I read English at Leeds University then moved to London and worked for various publishers before I packed it all in to go travelling around the world for a year and a half. When I came back to the UK, I worked in publishi

Lena Kiefer

Lena Kiefer wurde 1984 geboren und war schon als Kind eine begeisterte Leserin und Geschichtenerfinderin. Einen Beruf daraus zu machen, kam ihr jedoch nicht in den Sinn. Nach der Schule verirrte sie sich in die Welt der Paragraphen, fand dann aber gerade noch rechtzeitig den Weg zurück zur Literatur und studierte Germanistik. Bald darauf reichte es ihr nicht mehr, die Geschichten anderer zu lesen – da wurde ihr klar, dass sie Autorin werden will. Heute lebt Lena Kiefer mit ihrem Mann in der Nähe von Freiburg und schreibt in jeder freien und nicht freien Minute. Bekannt wurde sie durch ihre Trilogie »Ophelia Scale«. Aktuell arbeitet sie an einer New-Adult-Reihe und einem neuen Fantasy-YA-Dreiteiler.

Chris Carter

Biographies can be an absolute drag, so I won’t bore anyone with a long life story.

I was born in Brasilia, Brazil where I spent my childhood and teenage years. After graduating from high school, I moved to the USA where I studied psychology with specialization in criminal behaviour. During my University years I held a variety of odd jobs, ranging from flipping burgers to being part of an all male exotic dancing group.

I worked as a criminal psychologist for several years before moving to Los Angeles, where I swapped the suits and briefcases for ripped jeans, bandanas and an electric guitar. After a spell playing for several well known glam rock bands, I decided to try my luck in London, where I was fortunate enough to have played for a numbe
