Since 2010, Vesela has been a regular partner of electronic and print literary magazines and sites, publishing theoretical articles on children’s literature.
Since 2000, she has been actively meeting with children from Bulgaria, Greece, Sweden and Serbia and fostering their love for the literature of the fantastic. The meetings always include a text performance: Vesela uses her professional knowledge in acting and presents her books with the artistic devices of the puppet theater.
Vesela is chubby (until further notice), has dark brown eyes, loves laughing and singing, and believes the sun shines for everyone.
