Wow, this NIV by Elizabeth Acevedo gave me chills. I loved its spirited MC, Xiomara, the images conjured by its poetic language, and the theme of finding truth through the stories we share. Read it. Even if you don't like poetry, read it. It will open up your ❤️.

Beyond excited to announce that I'm represented by Kaitlyn Sanchez @ Bradford Literary Agency!

@rebeccacaprara.bsky.social I just finished reading Spin and it blew me away. I will be thinking of it and Arachne's journey for a long time. As a writer exploring the format of novel in verse, the language and imagery was exquisite.

So excited for another wonderful year of raising dead manuscripts with #kidlitzombie week! Are you joining us? Please note prize page will be updated soon!

Well hello there 2025, the year that will officially make me a published picture book author. Can't wait for the kids to read my books, CRACK GOES THE CASCARON and my pb bio ALBERTO SALAS PLAYS PAKA PAKA CON LA PAPA :) Feeling like a kid waiting for her birthday party.

Thank you Trenise and Layla!
