I am proud to say my stories cross borders—connecting with readers in several countries across the globe—and have received praise from Kirkus Reviews, The Booklife Prize by Publishers Weekly, Reedsy Discovery, OnlineBookClub, and Readers Favorite among others. Writer’s Digest described my work as “exciting and refreshing”. In addition, I am honored to be a two-time finalist in both the New York Book Awards and the Readers Favorite Book Awards. As a graduate of NYU with a BA in Theater Arts, I utilize theatrical training to develop multi-dimensional characters and rich world-building that support the stories I create. In additional to writing and reading stories, I am also a reviewer at NetGalley and Reedsy Discovery, and a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Wordsmith Studio, and the 88 Cups of Tea podcast & community. To learn more about my background and work, you can visit https://campsite.bio/michellereynoso or my website at www.MichelleReynoso.com.
