Sang Kromah – Young Adult Author of the Concealed Series
Sang Kromah was born in Philadelphia, PA to Liberian-born parents to a dad, who is a retired state of Maryland Administrator and a mother, who is a dentist. She was raised in Baltimore and Eldersburg, Maryland along with an older and younger brother.
If Sang could be summed up in one word, she would be described as a dreamer. A lifelong sufferer of the “anywhere but here syndrome”, made her a storyteller at an early age. Always creating fantasy worlds and as soon as she could read and write, those worlds gave her wings and the power to soar. Although, she was always a storyteller, she wasn’t necessarily sure of what she wanted to do with her active imagination until meeting her seventh grade Language Arts teacher, who encouraged her natural ability to dream. After that, Sang couldn’t stop writing stories, screenplays, poems, articles, etc. Sang did both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at New York Institute of Technology in Manhattan, New York. Sang received her Master’s degree in Communication Arts with concentrations in Film and Media Management in May 2010.
Sang’s first book called The Book of the Concealed is due to be released in 2011. Further details soon to come!
