The Tucson Festival of Books is a community-wide celebration of literature. Offered free-of-charge, the Festival exists to improve literacy rates among children and adults. Now in its tenth year, the festival will be held at the beautiful University of Arizona campus on the weekend of March 10 and 11.
I am honored to be a guest this year along with many other Latinx authors including Luis Alberto Urrea, Zoraida Córdova, Erika Sánchez, Daniel José Older, Frederick Luis Aldama, Xelena González, Bill Esparza, Vickie Vértiz, and more! You may check out the list of all guest authors here.
