Living between the quiet hills, ancient glens, and salt-kissed winds of the Isle of Man, a designated UNESCO Biosphere Region, Victoria Beata creates stories and illustrations that offer a place of peace, comfort, and gentle magic. An Isle of Man author and artist, she draws on the wildness, folklore, and tenderness of the island she calls home.
Victoria Beata is the creator of Tales of The Glen, an immersive literary world where creatures speak, nature has opinions, and small acts of kindness ripple outward like light across water. Her stories are read by a global audience of children, families, educators, carers, and readers seeking comfort.
At the heart of her writing is a belief that gentle stories matter. The Glen is a sanctuary of imagination where readers of all ages can rest, remember, wonder, and feel less alone.
Victoria Beata Limited operates as a specialised transmedia publishing studio based on the Isle of Man. Through illustrated books, digital art, and carefully crafted creative projects, the studio expands the world of The Glen across multiple forms.
By blending traditional narrative craft with innovative digital tools, the company reaches a global community of over 250,000 readers drawn to the cosy, nature-inspired aesthetic of Manx storytelling. What began as a personal creative project has grown into an international publishing presence, with thousands of books shipped across the UK, USA, Europe, Canada, and Australia.
The community surrounding The Glen remains the heart of the studio: a shared space where readers exchange warmth, memories, creativity, and encouragement.
