It was so cool meeting one of my writing idols, Joanna Ho, tonight at my library's AAPI event. Joanna was so encouraging as I shared the many rejections that I received since putting my story on submission and told me to keep on going!

Can't believe it was just 1 year ago when I was selected as a 2025 PB Party Finalist. So many dreams happened due to @mindyalyseweiss.bsky.social and her team. I signed with my lovely agent, @kaitlynleann17.bsky.social at Bradford Literary Agency and met some many amazing writers!

It's official! I created an author's website and a Substack newsletter. I'd love it if you would take a look, leave a comment, and share with others if it resonates with you. Thanks for stopping by! angelatsangbooks.com

Thrilled to receive Equity and Inclusion Award from SCBWI SF North/ East Bay today at our Oktoberfest conference. After getting a few rejections from publishers, it was a much needed sign from the universe to keep writing and going after my dream.

In honor of Banned Book week, Im re-reading one of my favorite middle grade books, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret by incomparable Judy Blume. And I can't wait to share with my daughter when she is a tween

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!
