264 Kristy Acevedo, Author

from My Creative Life for Artists and Creators Hosted by Nancy Miller

Hi Everyone! I interviewed Kristy Acevedo, YA author, and english teacher. Here is more about Kristy: Kristy Acevedo loves to write stories that make people think and give people hope. She is a public high school English teacher, gardener, and Star Trek fan. When she was a child, her “big sister” from the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program fostered her love of books by bringing her to the public library every Wednesday for seven years. She earned her master’s degree in English and Secondary Education and is entering her 25th year of teaching. Her dystopian YA sci-fi debut series, THE WARNING and THE FALLOUT (2023 Sourcebooks Fire), won the PEN New England Susan P. Bloom Children’s Book Discovery Award, was a finalist for the Philip K. Dick award for distinguished science fiction, and was touted as one of Barnes & Noble Teen’s Top 13 Anticipated YA sci-fi books (under the original title Consider). She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two daughters, and two cats. Visit Kristy's site: https://www.kristyacevedo.com/ Thank you for listening! Please like and subscribe!
