MY STORY
About Gabriella
​
Gabriella McGinnis is an adult science fiction and fantasy writer. With blood relatives from the Arab world, Gabriella often incorporates Middle Eastern culture into her stories along with her fierce love of Vikings. One of her favorite places she has ever visited in the Middle East was Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. She loves to create stories that explore identity and unfamiliar environments.
​
When not building worlds, Gabriella creates art both professionally and personally. In her mind, the No. 2 pencil still counts as a high-grade tool in the correct hands. As an artist, one of the places she loved to visit was the Parthenon in Nashville. (She has yet to go to the real one!)
​
Gabriella earned her BA in Digital Film from Grand Canyon University. She has been on and off sets since she was twelve and has worn a wide variety of hats, including actor, director, and screenwriter. One of her more recent projects with a local Indian dance studio won awards at festivals internationally. She also supported live productions from church services to major artists.
