Gisella Laterza

Gisella Laterza lives in Bergamo, or more precisely, in a downtown café where she spends her time writing. When not writing, she teaches Italian and Latin at a high school and leads creative writing courses for students aged 6 to 99. She has published novels, short stories for school anthologies, biographies, and a children’s retelling of the Divine Comedy (Einaudi Ragazzi). Among her most successful series is “Tre amiche per un diario” (Il Battello a Vapore). Under the pseudonym Ella Archer, she wrote “Abissi e incanto,” a fantasy romance currently being translated into French, Dutch, and Spanish. This work was a finalist for the ILfest award (Munich, 2025) and the Romance Book Party Awards (Naples, 2025).
