WORKSHOPS WITH USA TODAY-BESTSELLING AUTHOR ADRIANA HERRERA
USA Today-bestselling author Adriana Herrera will join us on March 29, 2025 to offer two workshops: Writing The Diaspora: Create Diverse Characters with History and Depth and Writing Trauma Survivors: Understanding Your Character's Experience.
Adriana was born and raised in the Caribbean, but for the last fifteen years has let her job (and her spouse) take her all over the world. She loves writing stories about people who look and sound like her people, getting unapologetic happy endings. Her Dreamers series has received starred reviews from Publisher’s Weekly and Booklist and has been featured in The TODAY Show on NBC, Entertainment Weekly, OPRAH Magazine, NPR, Library Journal, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. She’s a trauma therapist in New York City, working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
