Published Work
The things I write are often fun and odd-worldly. I'm really into the slightly spooky and weird stuff. I'm a science fiction writer with a tendency to fantasy.

About
My name is Rebeca Puig. I’m a queer and Latina writer, born and raised in Brazil and currently living in Vancouver – Canada. I started my writer journey back in 2013 as a screenwriter, worked years as a pop culture critic, and as a public speaker and community organizer on diversity and representation.So far so good. Now, let's get to some about me topic game:- I'm a big cozy gamer, which means I have about 30 farms in Stardew Valley. But I also have 300 saves between Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West and Tomb Raider. I like my ladies with a bow & arrow.- I'm what I call a late-bloomer-queer and I might talk more about this in the future.- I'm an intersectional feminist and it shows.- I have two lovely chaotic cats (Leslie and Peggy) and a lovely chaotic dog (Peralta).- English is not my native language and I don't care. I talked more about this in the article When I Stopped Using Grammarly.- A.I. is just a fraud, it will not save humanity.
My Work
I've been a professional writer and screenwriter for almost 15 years, and a lazy illustrator for the past 6 years. Here you'll find my published fiction work and some of my drawings. For non-ficition writings, you can always subscribe to my free newsletter. ;)
Illustration
I'm a pretty lazy illustrator, which basically means I draw what I want and when I want. It's mostly a hobby, but you can find some of my art for sale here, or aqui.
