👋 Hello Literary Explorers,
I'm Cyra, your friendly book aficionado 📚 and the storyteller-in-chief over at "The Literary Vault."
Venturing through the labyrinthine high school corridors at 15 while keeping my bookish flame burning, I'm excited to welcome you to this digital haven—my creative sanctuary crafted with passion since the grand age of 13 (let's all agree, age is merely a number).
Grab your reading glasses and join me on a journey where each page turns into a treasure trove of stories and discoveries🌟.

About Work With Me

Tahereh Mafi

Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.

Mary E. Pearson

I think that maybe forgiveness is like change—it comes in small steps.

George R. R. Martin

A Reader Lives a Thousand Lives Before He Dies. The Man Who Never Reads Lives Only One.

Laini Taylor

Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.

Angie Thomas

Brave doesn’t mean you’re not scared. It means you go on even though you’re scared.

Sabaa Tahir

Fear is only your enemy if you allow it to be.

Jacqueline Woodson

Time comes to us softly, slowly. It sits beside us for a while. Then, long before we are ready, it moves on.

Maurene Goo

I believed, and still believe, that you can build your dreams brick by brick. That you can accomplish anything with persistence.

Rachel Caine

No one with a book is ever alone, even in the darkest moments.

Joan Didion

Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.

Leo Tolstoy

All we can know is that we know nothing. And that’s the height of human wisdom.

Joseph Heller

Anything worth dying for is certainly worth living for.

Maya Angelou

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Alexandre Dumas

All human wisdom is summed up in these two words – ‘Wait and hope'.

Suzanne Collins

And may the odds be ever in your favor.

Alice Walke

Time moves slowly, but passes quickly.

NANCY CROCHIERE

"The 13-year-old blogger of The Literary Vault is extremely professional and impressive, asking questions about writing that cover the waterfront, from inspiration to publication. No doubt The Literary Vault is going to be a blog to follow."

DAN GUTMAN

"Most bloggers and interviewers ask the same boring questions I've answered a hundred times. Cyra of "The Literary Vault" asked thoughtful, probing questions that actually forced me to THINK and reflect on the way I write my books. That's a lot harder! And that's why her blog is better."

MIA SHERIDAN

"It warms my heart that someone so young is already diving into the book world. I truly believe that books save lives and minister to wounded hearts, and there is no better business to be part of. I look forward to hearing your name more and more!"

SARAH ADLER

“The Literary Vault is a wonderful online home for the next generation of book reviewers with a bright future ahead of it!”

ERIN BOWLEN

"As writers, we get asked a lot of the same questions. It was nice to have the chance to answer some carefully crafted and thought-provoking questions about the craft of writing and publishing."

MEREDITH IRELAND

"I think it’s tremendous that you are running this blog and care so deeply about books and authors at such a young age. I wish your blog the best and can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!"

ELLEN O’ CLOVER

"It’s wonderful to see such a young person making a name for themselves in the book blogging community! Thanks for including me in your interview series, Cyra!"

DIANNE CORBEAU

"Literary Vault provided my novella, Six Days in Detox, with an insightful and honest review. Cyra brought a level of understanding and depth to the book to help readers identify with my words while making their own conclusions."

Dr. William Lynes, MD & Author of A Surgeon’s Tale and A Surgeon’s Knot

William Lynes, MD & Author

I am overcome with respect for this young literary virtuosa. Cyra asked me probing questions, led by my writing and story, and then reviewed those with expertise. I see great things in the future for Cyra. I hope she is serious in her pursuits of medical school.

Kirsten Oliphant

"As an early writer myself, I'm so impressed with the quality and the professionalism of The Literary Vault! Keep watching Cyra because I can only imagine the big things she'll accomplish!"

Betty Culley

"What a great place to read about other writer’s journeys and thoughts! Thanks for all the effort that went into this project!"
