YA author Crystal Maldonado is making her mark on Latinx readers across the world. Crystal’s stories center fat, beautiful, brown girls chasing the love they’ve always deserved but haven’t received–until now.
Despite the girls’ lives being torn apart by war, the heart of ‘Noche de Fuego’ is not their fear but the love they share.
Finding out last week that Netflix had canceled ‘Gentefied’ after only two seasons felt like a gut-punch. And I know what to blame: capitalism.
As a Portland-based writer, educator, and DJ, Emilly Prado is one of the most unique triple threats out there. We sat down with Prado to discuss her debut essay collection, ‘Funeral for Flaca.’
The author of 17 YA, middle-grade, and adult fiction novels, Zoraida Córdova has established herself as an essential voice in the Latinx publishing space, exploring fantastical worlds, science fiction universes, and magical realism with an Ecuadorian twist.

Author and Latina Rebels’ founder Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodríguez’s debut, For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender Hearts: A Love Letter to Women of Color is the book I’ve been waiting for my whole life.
