Violeta Garza (she / they)

Hey, as a librarian I have to tell you

You don't have to finish a book that doesn't interest you. Life's too short for that. Not your jam? You have my permission to move on to the next book.

My book according to my #indiepress publisher First Matter Press:

Brava is a bilingual gut-punch of a
debut—fierce, funny, and full of heart.
Violeta Garza speaks from the messy
middle: too Mexican, too white, too
tender, too loud.
