She was born in Quito, Ecuador, and was drawn to art from a very young age. With her grandmother, she molded clay flowers, painted wooden houses, and glued little birds to a papier-m\u00e2ch\u00e9 tree. As an adult, she began her career in Graphic Design in Louisiana, and this profession led her to the world of early childhood education. Through her work with children and the use of design and color as teaching tools, she discovered a deeper and more engaging side to her calling. She then completed a Master\u2019s degree in Education in Washington, specializing in children with learning disabilities. Since then, she has been working with and learning from neurodivergent students in Oregon public schools.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f058464 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"f058464\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Authors<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6178225 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6178225\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fdc08a bdt-navbar-style-1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-bdt-scrollnav\" data-id=\"6fdc08a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"bdt-scrollnav.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-scrollnav bdt-navbar-container bdt-navbar-transparent bdt-navbar \" data-bdt-navbar=\"\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bdt-navbar-center\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"bdt-nav bdt-nav-default\" data-bdt-scrollspy-nav=\"closest: li; scroll: true; offset: ;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#ana_velez\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAna Velez\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#alexandra_farias\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAlexandra Farias\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#russell_rogers\">\n\t\t\t\t\tRussell Rogers\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#emmanuel_valtierra\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEmanuel Valtierra\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#emmett_wheatfall\">\n\t\t\t\t\tEmmett Wheatfall\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#william_hernandez\">\n\t\t\t\t\tWilliam Hernandez Molina\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#valentina_ortiz\">\n\t\t\t\t\tValentina Ortiz\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#juan_cervantes\">\n\t\t\t\t\tJuan Cervantes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#jose_gomez\">\n\t\t\t\t\tJos\u00e9 Gomez\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-tippy-content=\"\" href=\"#alba-eduardo\">\n\t\t\t\t\tAlba D.

There, she formalized her partnership with writer Eduardo A. Borges Medina, and together they founded Special Novels Inc., an imprint with which she has guided dozens of Spanish- and English-speaking authors through the entire publishing process: from the conception of the idea to global distribution. Her specialty is biographies that highlight the stories of the Hispanic community, although her catalog includes cookbooks, children&#8217;s literature, poetry, fiction, reflective journals, picture books, educational manuals, and translations (English \u2194 Spanish), as well as audiobooks and niche academic works. As an author, she has published two of her own books\u2014one autobiographical and the other focused on well-being and personal development\u2014that reflect her commitment to promoting diverse voices and creating tools for growth. To maintain the quality of her projects, she trained in professional editing and is proficient in the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, allowing her to oversee every technical phase of layout, design, and printing, offering her clients competitive products in any market. Her ability to reconcile editorial rigor, visual creativity, and cultural sensitivity has made her a benchmark for authors seeking to self-publish with international standards without sacrificing their identity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3b70a5 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d3b70a5\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00e4444 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"00e4444\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Eduardo A.

With a solid background in marketing and more than a decade of experience in sales and network marketing, he developed strategic skills that he now applies to guiding new authors throughout the publishing process. His work focuses on personal growth and spirituality, highlighting self-reflective titles such as the journal series &#8220;The Compass of Well-Being,&#8221; designed to guide readers through eight dimensions of holistic well-being. In addition to his own books, Eduardo has overseen the publication of dozens of works\u2014biographies, essays, poetry, children&#8217;s literature, and educational manuals\u2014in both English and Spanish, with a special emphasis on highlighting voices from the Latino community. Among his greatest publishing successes are the bestsellers My Damned Mind Is for Rent, Learning to Relate, and Day by Day; three works that combine experiential narrative, practical exercises, and profound reflections to help readers transform mental patterns, improve their interpersonal relationships, and cultivate habits of daily well-being. A visionary and mentor, Eduardo also works as a creative writing coach and ghostwriter.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef660d0 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"ef660d0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"aux-parallax-section elementor-element elementor-element-98b5993 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"98b5993\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8409cfb elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8409cfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Authors<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors Ana V\u00e9lez Ana Gabriela V\u00e9lez is an author, illustrator, and teacher living in Portland.
