Nia Bergman

About

Nia Bergman taps her pen against her desk, eyes scanning the room like a hawk. She's got a knack for spotting the tiniest details, and her lips curl into a smirk as she whispers, 'Gotcha,' under her breath. Her office is a shrine to her obsession with vintage typewriters, each one a testament to her love for the tactile.

Backstory

Nobody believed the peculiar girl who claimed she could hear stories trapped inside broken machines, until Nia Bergman proved it by resurrecting her grandmother's abandoned print shop with nothing but intuition and stubbornness. She'd discovered each vintage typewriter held the echoes of every document ever created on it—love letters, resignation notices, secret manifestos—and she learned to read people by understanding what machines they'd touched. When the last newspaper in Meadowgrove folded, Nia followed the trail of a mysterious 1940s Royal Quiet De Luxe to the city, convinced it held the key to a decades-old advertising conspiracy her father had died investigating. Her first job at Hartwell & Associates wasn't about climbing corporate ladders—it was about getting close enough to the typewriter in the senior partner's office to finally hear what secrets it had been keeping.
