Nadia Cox

Nadia Cox is an Eastern European author for Cypher and Ima Crook's editor.

## Biography

*Nadia Cox is a European romance and erotica author who believes women should be more in touch with their sexuality. Nadia knew she was bisexual from a young age and enjoys writing stories with characters of all genders and sexualities. In her words, the only thing as fun as sex is reading about it.*

*Despite this, Nadia has a love of all literature, not just romance and erotica, and has spent the majority of her career as a professional editor. In 2023, Nadia published her first book, Elixir of Bliss, with Cypher, for whom she had previously worked as an editor for the crime and action thriller author, Ima Crook. Despite her unashamed love of erotica and the embracing of herself as a sexual being, Nadia lives a rather vanilla life in Ukraine. When she’s not spending time with her cocker spaniels, Luna and Bella, she’s usually snuggling up next to the fireplace gripping a novel; her favorite genre, of course, being romance, closely followed by erotica and crime.*

*Though, despite her love of the erotica genre, Nadia always found herself thinking the same thing: she doesn’t care about the characters, she just wants to get off. This thought inspired her to write her own short erotica stories which are just long enough for the reader to enjoy themselves but don’t waste pages and pages getting to know the characters. Although she would love to write longer romantic works in the future, for now Nadia is focused on releasing short, straight to the point erotic works for her, and the reader, to explore their sexuality.*

## Appearance

Cypher gives all their authors the option of anonymity, allowing them to publish books without publicly sharing their physical appearance. Nadia is one such author who, for understandable reasons given the content of her work, decided to take Cypher up on that offer. The image most commonly associated with Nadia Cox, which she uses on all her social media content, is not of her. The model who posed for Nadia's headshot is the same model who Emily Rōnin's artwork is based on.

## Trivia

* Nadia Cox was initially hired by Cypher as a copy editor and line editor for Ima Crook's Vice but after writing Elixir of Bliss and showing it to Ima for advice, Ima urged Nadia to send the short to Mixed Breed who decided, based on the short alone, to offer Nadia an entertainment contract.
* The model who posed for Nadia's headshot is the same model who Emily Rōnin's artwork is based on.
* Nadia goes by @NadiaCoxAuthor on Twitter and has a Reddit account by the same username.
* Although Nadia originally started out as Ima Crook's editor, Ima now edits all of Nadia's shorts.
* Nadia has confirmed she is bisexual and boasts a pride flag in her Twitter display name.
* In an old Reddit comment on an erotica subreddit, Nadia mentioned that she rarely reads erotic stories told from a man's point of view (POV).
* Nadia is an aggressive social media marketer, often marketing her stories under tweets designed to promote authors.
* Cypher price Nadia's stories differently from their other books. Usually, Cypher prices ebooks at $4.99 (USD) but Nadia's are priced at $0.99 (this is likely because her stories are so short).
* Nadia has expressed her desire to write longer works in the future as well as her desire to write non-erotic romance novels.
* She doesn't listen to audiobooks and was surprised at how steamy Elixir of Bliss sounded in audio format when she first heard it (as expressed in this tweet).
* Nadia often comments on pornographic videos on Reddit.
* Although it's never been confirmed, Nadia has, on several occasions, suggested she has (or had) a husband.
	+ In more than one instance she has described Elixir of Bliss, a story about a woman cheating on her husband with another woman, as "semi-biographical".
* On multiple occasions, Nadia has publicly called Ima Crook her best friend.
* On Twitter, Nadia frequently likes tweets and videos which show Ukrainian victories in their conflict with Russia and has said "Zs are not welcome in Ukraine" and "there is no mercy until we are free", suggesting she is a big supporter of Ukrainian military efforts.
	+ Nadia is one of the only Cypher members to be so public about their political views (with Mixed Breed being the only other Cypher member who talks about politics publically). It's thought Cypher advise their members (especially authors) not to talk about politics publically because of its ability to segregate and isolate fanbases. It's therefore interesting that Cypher allows Nadia to be so public in her political views (or, if they do ask her not to, it's interesting that she ignores these requests).
* Although it can't be confirmed, it's thought Nadia uses a pen name in a similar way to Ima Crook who uses her real first name but writes under a false last name. Neither Nadia nor anybody else at Cypher has ever confirmed this but Cox isn't a common last name in Ukraine and it would make sense for an erotic author to choose a name like Cox (cocks). It is, however, widely accepted that Nadia is her real first name and Ima Crook had mentioned having a close friend named Nadia long before Nadia joined Cypher (or even started writing, for that matter).
* While most published authors write multiple stories before being published, Nadia confirmed on Twitter that Elixir of Bliss was the first original story she'd ever written.
	+ While Nadia doesn't see that as a flex, it's exceptionally rare for an author to get their first-ever story published (though her existing relationship with Cypher surely eased the process in her case).
* Although Nadia loves Ima Crook's work and has called Ima her favourite author on multiple occasions, Nadia seems to express no desire in editing the scripts for Ima's screenplays, despite editing Ima's novels. That being said, Ima is notoriously cagey when it comes to other people changing her work and it may just be that Ima accepts her novels need an editor but is unwilling to have anybody else edit her scripts.
* Nadia is the only Cypher author whose entire catalogue is available for free with Kindle Unlimited.
* Nadia undoubtedly receives different treatment from Cypher than the rest of their members (such as having lower prices on her ebooks, speaking about her political views publicly, having her titles enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, etc). On top of this, several of Nadia's social media posts and Reddit comments suggest she has more sway at Cypher than Cypher publicly acknowledges (such as suggesting new ventures and revenue streams). The reason for this is unknown to everybody outside of Cypher.
* Nadia appears to be a savvy businesswoman.
* She's a fan of the Ukrainian football club FC Shakhtar Donetsk.
