Lorena Koppel-Torres
I am a teen author who started my first novel when I was 9, in response to a lack of smart female protagonists, interesting plots, and high-quality writing in the middle-grade genre.
Writer’s Digest requested and published my article, “From YA to YEAH: 4 Ways to Keep Teen & Young Adult Readers Hooked.” Austin Woman Magazine highlighted my story in my article, 15-year-old Fantasy Writer Lorena Koppel is Slaying Stereotypes. I also write for Latinitas Magazine; see one of my articles here. My experience at the WDC has been featured in cartoon in both The New Yorker and LiteraryHub by Bob Eckstein. I'm interviewed on Kaisee Bailey's series, Talking Shop. I have been a guest speaker at the San Antonio NISD NerdvanaCon (2018-19) and on the podcast Write Away with Natalie Lockett.
I'm now working to get my debut fantasy novel, The Shadow in Her Pocket, published. I'm passionate about pushing for more diverse characters and voices in art, and about expanding child literacy with Bookspring. See one of my Bookspring articles here. When I’m not writing, I’m a sophomore in high school and a rock musician.
