Biography:
Svetlana Chmakova is an internationally published, award-winning manga/comics author, with more than a dozen published books and her work translated into over 13 languages. Her comics-making journey started in her early teens, with Svet obsessively drawing random comics pages for stories that barely had a beginning and never really got an end, and could only very generously be called sequential art. Luckily all that pencil mileage wasn't a waste of effort as it got Svetlana an admission into the Classical Animation program at Sheridan College, where her real comicking training began.

Becoming a full-time artist and writer after college, Svetlana has been doing that professionally now for over 20 years, drawing for animation, how-to-draw books, toy designs, and most of all, comics and manga. Svetlana did the manga adaptation of James Patterson's "Witch & Wizard" novels and is the author of the fan-favorite manga series "Dramacon" and "Nightschool: The Weirn Books", as well as the critically acclaimed Berrybrook Middle School graphic novel series including "Awkward", "Brave", "Crush" and "Enemies".

Svetlana's current series is the middle grade spin-off of "Nightschool", with two volumes currently out in stores-"The Weirn Books: Be Wary of The Silent Woods" and "The Weirn Books: The Ghost and The Stolen Dragon". Svetlana's work is published by JY For Kids, an imprint of Yen Press; her hobbies include eating, sleeping, and buying far more books than she has shelf space.
