Marisel Vera grew up in the barrio in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, where she was raised by Puerto Rican emigrant parents. One of six children, she was the first in her family to earn a college degree: a BA in Journalism from Northern Illinois University. She worked in public relations, writing and editing employee newspapers, newsletters, news releases and handling media relations. She studied writing with Paulette Roeske, Margaret Gibson, Jonis Agee, Rosellen Brown, and Cristina Garcia. In February 2011, Vera's current project, a coming-of-age novel, THE LIBERATION OF CARMELA LOPEZ, was adapted into play form and directed by her daughter, Alyssa Vera Ramos. It premiered at Northwestern University's Musseter-Struble Theatre and enjoyed overwhelmingly positive response. Vera won the Willow Review literary magazine's fiction prize for two of her short stories in 2000 and 2003. She wrote her novel, IF I BRING YOU ROSES, to discover her Puerto Rican heritage. She lives in suburban Chicago with her husband and two children.
