Roxanne Ocasio is a northeast Ohio writer and proud Puerto Rican. Her short stories were included in Speculative Fiction for Dreamers: A Latinx Anthology, Gordon Square Review, and the inaugural Tightwires Anthology. She holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Southern Maine and is a two-time alumnus of the Voices of Our Nation Arts Foundation workshop. When she’s not writing, she’s taking long walks through parks or cute neighborhoods, feeding her gluten-free pastry addiction, crafting the perfect playlist of reggaeton and K-pop, or becoming overly invested in local sports.
