E. Hope Grove discovered her love of storytelling at the age of 15 when she penned the first draft of Arys, a tale of magic, rebellion, and self-discovery. That same year, her talent shone as she won first place in a creative writing contest, solidifying her passion for crafting worlds and characters that inspire.
Now, 20 years later, she’s on a mission to bring Arys to life for a new generation of readers. Her goal? To place this story into the hands of every young woman searching for her place in the world, striving to make a difference, and embracing her own power.
E. Hope Grove draws inspiration from legendary authors like Libba Bray, Tamora Pierce, Suzanne Collins, Veronica Roth, Christopher Paolini and J.R.R. Tolkien, as well as modern voices like Emily Kimmelman. These trailblazers—and the heroines they created—have fueled her determination to create her own kick-ass, unforgettable characters.
Based in Toronto, Canada, E. Hope Grove spends her free time walking her beloved dog, Scotty, while immersing herself in audiobooks and podcasts. Whether diving into epic fantasy or exploring the world of storytelling, she’s always chasing inspiration and dreaming up new adventures.
