Kamilah Cole

By day, Kamilah Cole works in publishing. By night, she frantically types words she hopes to see in a book on shelves one day. In the past, she’s also worked as a journalist and at a hotel, two jobs that give you amazing stories to tell at parties. You know, if she went to parties. A graduate of NYU, Kamilah is currently based in the Tri-State Area, where she’s usually playing Kingdom Hearts for the 100th time, quoting early SpongeBob episodes, or crying her way through Zuko’s redemption arc in Avatar: The Last Airbender. She invites you to visit her at kamilah-cole.com and on Twitter and Instagram @wordsiren. (Photo by Lauren Banner)
