Julia Rios writes all sorts of things, and edits primarily YA short fiction. Her fiction, articles, interviews, and poetry have appeared in Daily Science Fiction, Apex Magazine, Stone Telling, Jabberwocky, and several other places. Books she's edited include Kaleidoscope: Diverse YA Science Fiction and Fantasy Stories, and the Year's Best YA Speculative Fiction series. She's half-Mexican, but her (fairly dreadful) French is better than her Spanish.
