E30 - Zona San Anto Podcast Feat. Chelsea Prieto
Chelsea Prieto is an English major at Texas A&M University–San Antonio and an active member of the Jaguar Ink Society, the university's creative writing club. A passionate storyteller and aspiring young adult novelist, Chelsea also explores the realms of short fiction and poetry, often drawing inspiration from personal experiences and the challenges she has overcome. Her writing is raw, honest, and deeply resonant.
In November 2024, Chelsea was a proud winner of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), a testament to her dedication and creative drive. Her debut YA fantasy novel is set to release in September 2025, marking an exciting milestone in her literary journey.
Beyond writing, Chelsea is the co-host of a local open mic night at Tandem, a cozy Southside coffee shop where writers, poets, and musicians come together to share their work and creative energy.
She is also launching Beyond The Book—a literary website and shop that serves as a welcoming online space designed to inspire, support, and connect aspiring writers and book lovers alike.
