So many literary agents have their submissions closed. I wish them all the rest and healing so that when they open up again they are ready to fight against this injustice through consideration of my memoir, Mexican Hoosier. My story matters and I will not be silenced. Not this time.

With the #Trump admin., I feel this urge inside me to keep resisting by writing. Now more than ever I feel my Mex-American memoir is needed, especially for the youth in the U.S. I can't explain it-I never saw myself writing a memoir, but sí, I have so much to say. Plz let me share my story #2025Pit

My voice is needed now more than ever, and I intend to find the literary agent who will be an incredible partner in achieving this. Check out my Pit below:

Mexican Hoosier is a heartfelt memoir about growing up as the daughter of Mexican immigrants in Indiana. It explores the challenges of balancing two cultures, focusing on identity, belonging, and resilience, while celebrating the strength in embracing one's roots. #DVPit #2025Pit #amquerying

Words hold power. For this reason all I want for next Christmas is to be on my way towards publishing my Latina memoir, Mexican Hoosier. I really hope my memoir reaches out to & connects me with those who feel the same way, or with those who wish to support & uplift immigrant communities #BookSky
