As a US-born Central American who's moved around a lot, I rarely feel represented in the stories that I read and watch. One of my main goals is to unpack difficult histories and tell untold stories through my writing.

Clarion West offers fantastic resources and a welcoming community for writers of any and all backgrounds. Please join me in fundraising, so that Clarion West may continue to offer these opportunities to passionate, diverse writers around the world. this is more important than ever in our current political climate.

For this Write-a-thon, I pledge to write a chapter per week for my current novel. I am currently at 41/64 planned chapters!
