“Many children and youth outside of America and the United Kingdom express a desire to see themselves represented as main characters in popular books, TV shows, and movies. Despite being the biggest market for these forms of entertainment, they are often left out of the narrative. Hollywood studios, which have shareholders from around the world, profit greatly from other countries’ nationals but refuse to include their children and youth in their productions. Similarly, most books are published by companies whose parent companies are based in Germany and France, yet their main characters are predominantly American and British. As someone who experienced this exclusion firsthand, I made sure to include children and youth from every country in my Magus/Magic books. By doing so, I hope to improve human rights in action and ensure that no child in the future feels left out when enjoying popular media. The Magus/Magic books offer an entertaining escape into a fantasy world where every child and youth can identify with a main character and be thoroughly entertained.

Embark on a magical and fantastical journey where all are welcome aboard. MAGUS/MAGIC: THE WORLD’S MOST DIVERSE STORY”
