Meet Talia.

Living in six houses across four states before the age of twelve, Talia Rodriquez found a home in her overactive imagination. Using lightsabers, LEGOs, and a pinch of pixie dust, she first explored her creativity while playing with her four siblings.

Now, she writes whimsical YA stories that offer belonging to girls battling everyday insecurities. Infusing a spark of wonder into every story, she inspires readers to overcome their own struggles.

When not creating mini dragons to fix plot holes, she’s likely sharing coffee with friends, making kids laugh, or singing every word of “I’ve Got a Dream” from Tangled.
