ABOUT ELIZA REID
Eliza Reid is a journalist, editor, and cofounder of the annual Iceland Writers Retreat. Eliza grew up in the countryside near Ottawa, Canada, and moved to Iceland in 2003, five years after winning a student raffle for a date with the man who became her husband, Gudni JoÌhannesson. When he took office as president of Iceland on August 1, 2016, Eliza became the countryâs First Lady. In that capacity, she has been active in promoting gender equality, entrepreneurship and innovation, tourism and sustainability, and the countryâs writers and rich literary heritage. Being the spouse of the head of state is an immense privilege, full of surreal and wonderful experiences.

Her first book, Secrets of the Sprakkar, was an instant bestseller in Iceland and Canada, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Pick, and was recommended by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Margaret Atwood and many others.
