S4 E16: Alexis Castellanos & The Story Web We Weave

Claribel & Kat talk about Author-Reviewer “relationships” and
what’s okay to do and what to stay away from. Then they interview
debut graphic novelist, Alexis Castellanos about how she used
family stories to flesh out and inspire her debut graphic novel.


ABOUT ALEX: Alexis Castellanos was born and
raised in Florida where she enjoyed sunny days, dramatic
thunderstorms, and delicious Cuban food. After graduating from
college, she moved to New York City and worked as a scenic
artist, bringing theatrical sets to life with a little bit of
paint and a whole lot of ingenuity. She currently works as a
graphic designer by day and spends her nights dreaming up
stories. She lives in Seattle with her partner and her extremely
photogenic cat, Belle. Isla to Island is her first graphic novel.
