Amaris Castillo

Amaris Castillo is a journalist, writer, and the creator of Bodega Stories, a series featuring real stories from the corner store. Her work has appeared in Latina Magazine, Remezcla, Parents Latina Magazine, Poynter, The New York Times, and elsewhere. She also reviews books for the Dominican Writers Association. When Castillo is not working, she is wrangling two young boys while nursing a cup of cafecito to stay awake -- and somehow carving out time to write.
