About this author

My novel, Ink, will be published by Crossed Genres in October of 2012. (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...)

I was born in Bangkok, Thailand -- the daughter of a Mexican-Guatemalan artist and an American businessman. I grew up in Guatemala, and moved to the United States when I was 15. I studied filmmaking and creative writing at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., which -- it has to be said -- suited me for none (and every one) of the occupations I've plied since.

I've done stints as everything from art gallery assistant to the director of a historic opera house, but eventually found my way, permanently, to newspapers. I've been staff writer, production coordinator, editor and managing editor at a string of local weekly newspap...more


Editor's note: this is the fifth in monthly series of guest blog posts in which emerging Latina writers talk about their work, their process and what inspires them.

Mexican by birth, Canadian by inclination. Silvia Moreno-Garcia writes speculative fiction (from magic realism to horror). Her short stories have appeared in places such as Imaginarium 2012: The Best Canadian Speculative Writing. He... Read more of this blog post »

Among Others by Jo Walton
Among Others
by Jo Walton (Goodreads Author)
Despite Walton's obvious skill as a writer, and a treasure trove of SFF references, I was put off by its unrelievedly Anglo world view. To read a full review go to: http://www.followingthelede.blogspot....

Oz Reimagined by John Joseph Adams
All skillful stories, three very strong. Despite that, the anthology was a failure for me. To a full read review go to: http://www.followingthelede.blogspot....

“I get it, you know. I'm operating on privilege too. It may be a number of notches down from yours but it's every bit as unearned. I think the trick is to never forget it.”
Sabrina Vourvoulias

“I don't really know them, but I know this: they're just like your kids were. Or are. Sweet, trusting, good in ways we adults hardly even remember. We have to look out for them. Not because of the tattoos, or in spite of them, but because they're kids and we're supposed to look out for kids.”
Sabrina Vourvoulias

“So, with my knees pierced by needles and my shoulder sewn together by the slender thread of endorphins, I keep to my genuflection and end my story the only way that really fits. As a prayer that seals surrender. World without end. Amen.”
Sabrina Vourvoulias

“The love of our neighbor in all its fullness simply means being able to say, "What are you going through?”
Simone Weil

“We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.”
Eduardo Hughes Galeano

“We move but our words stand
become responsible
for more than we intended

and this is verbal privilege”
