Natalie Vázquez was born in La Isla del Encanto, Puerto Rico. She is the author of the middle-grade series The Mortician’s Daughter, whose first book earned the Gold Medal at The Mariposa Awards from the International Latino Book Awards — 🏅 Best First Book – Children & Youth (English).
Natalie graduated from film school, where—thanks to inspiring teachers—she fell madly in love with writing. In her spare time, you can find her dreaming up new stories, talking to plants, or filming a new project. She is passionate about social advocacy, inclusion, and fart jokes. Her dream is to help create a world where LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC kids can see themselves represented on screen and in the books they read.
