Cecilia Aragon is an award-winning author, airshow pilot, and the first Latina full professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle.

Winner of the 2021 Nancy Pearl Award, her memoir, FLYING FREE: My Victory over Fear to Become the First Latina Pilot on the US Aerobatic Team (Blackstone Publishing), has been described as "exhilarating, adventurous, and thoughtful." FLYING FREE lifts readers into the skies on a woman's epic journey from fearful, bullied child to champion pilot.

Her 2019 book, WRITERS IN THE SECRET GARDEN: Fanfiction, Youth, and New Forms of Mentoring (MIT Press), co-authored with Katie Davis, explores the surprising ways young people learn from each other in online fanfiction communities.

It seems the web is full of blog posts from people who sat down, dashed off a first or second draft of their book, happened to open Twitter, noticed a pitch session going on that day, crafted a tweet in 15 minutes, posted it, got “liked” by an agent, sent in their manuscript, and signed within a week.

Umm.

It definitely wasn’t like that for me.
