Ivelisse Housman is the Puerto Rican-American author of the Unseelie Duology. She is a member of the 2022 Letras Boricuas Fellowship.

At all seven schools she attended throughout her childhood, she was infamously “that kid who gets in trouble for reading during class, but refuses to stop.” She was diagnosed with autism at 15, which made everything make a lot more sense.

She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains with her high school sweetheart/archnemesis and their rescue pets.
