Celia C. Pérez

edit

Celia C. Pérez is a children's book author, librarian, and zine maker of Cuban and Mexican descent.[1] She was raised in Miami, Florida and has been based in Chicago since 2001. She began making zines as an undergraduate and then graduate student in secondary English at the University of Florida in Gainesville in the 1990s. In 2017 Pérez published her first middle grades novel The First Rule of Punk[2] and followed it two years later with Strange Birds.[3]

Biography

edit

She began making zines as an undergraduate at the University of Florida in Gainesville in the 1990s and by the end of that decade was part of the "Pander Mafia,"[4] that is people whose zines were distributed by Ericka Bailie's Pander Zine Distro.[5]

Career

edit

Pérez briefly taught high school English. When she realized the classroom wasn't for her, she moved to Tampa to pursue an MLIS from the University of South Florida.

Personal Life

edit

Pérez is of Cuban descent on her father's side and Mexican on her mother's[6] and has three living siblings. She is married to Brett Zeeb, an attorney with Illinois's State Appellate Defender.[7] They have a son who attends a Chicago public high school with a racist mascot.
