Regina Benedetti (born November 27, 1980) is the author of writings credited to the fictional teenage persona of Jude, a long-running literary hoax in which Jude was presented to the public and publishers as a transgendered, sexually questioning, abused, former homeless drug addict and male prostitute. Benedetti was raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and moved to Los Angeles in 2006. She has also used the name Mage Benedetti.

Benedetti began writing short stories while in secondary school, and published several stories in the early 90s. In 1998 she published the critically acclaimed story "Crazy" in The Veja magazine, which became home to much of her subsequent work. In 2000 Regina released her novel Jude, an immediate popular success in Brazil.

Since 2009, she is working on an experimental, semi-autobiographical novel, Sawyer, which featured details into Bendetti's stardom and her shaky relationship with her father.

Personal Quotes

It drives me crazy when your parents try to read your mind. It's even worse when they try to read your mail.

[Responding to questions about his estranged father, May 27, 2004.]: My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before I get public. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don't see him, which is unfortunate. But I don't have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don't want to know. As long as he's not standing outside my doorstep, I'm fine. My step father? Even worst ha!

[March 2005]: Writing found me. I thought maybe I should try to find it again. We'll see.
