About Alexandra Diaz

Alexandra Diaz

Alexandra Diaz

Location: Santa Fe, New Mexico

Alexandra Diaz is a Cuban-American spending her time between Santa Fe and the rest of the world. As a result of being homeschooled for most of high school, she’s fascinated by teenage school life and the drama that occurs in those quarters. One of the reasons she writes is to experience life in someone else’s shoes. She is a “jenny of all trade” having worked as a nanny, teacher, film extra, tour guide, and dairy goat judge (seriously) among several other jobs. In addition to traversing the world, she enjoys hiking, swing dancing, and the prospect of flying.

AUTHOR VISIT INFORMATION

Any excuse to travel is a good one! I am more than willing to go anywhere in the world you would like me to go. Honestly! Even though my book is YA, I can lead creative writing workshops suitable for any age. I’m also available for virtual visits via skype.

Example Presentations and Workshops

  • How to come up with story plots/ideas
  • Character voices and how to make them different
  • “I would never do that!” Differencing from fact and fiction in creative writing
  • Build your own workshop. Is there a particular topic that will be beneficial for you and your class? Run it by me and I’ll let you know if I can work with that.

Honorarium and Fees

$200 is the standard charge, although that is subject to length and type of visit. Travel costs and accommodation (if necessary) are extra. If I can arrange for it to coincide with any other event or even a pleasure trip, then travel cost will be significantly less. Please contact me with any idea or proposal, even if it’s farfetched and you think it’s likely I won’t agree. I’m good at surprising people!
