Silvia Acevedo

Silvia Acevedo writes stories for kids and adults who want magic and mystery in their world.

She whipped up monster hijinks in MAIL-ORDER MONSTERS: CRASH COURSE, conjured La Llorona for THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA, and barely escaped the gods’ wrath in her award-winning mythological GOD AWFUL series.

Silvia worked in New York publishing at Scholastic, Writers House, and Inkluded. She led the Wisconsin chapter of SCBWI and served on the board of the Wisconsin Writers Association.
