Kris Ann Valdez

Freelance Writer

Fiction | Non-fiction

I’m a freelance writer passionate about uncovering fresh angles, making complex information accessible, and amplifying new voices, mostly in the realms of business, financial literacy, health and wellness, relationships, and science-based topics. My writing has taken me from the barrancas of Cuernavaca, Mexico to dusty university archives and into the secret world of botanists.

In my non-spare time, I raise three children, write novels (my first book comes out in ’26 with Twenty Hills Press), host a weekly writer’s group, and hike in my beloved Sonoran desert.

I also run a monthly Substack for writers called “The Guide Girl” where I offer a monthly round-up of places to submit work (both creative and journalistic) and mentor aspiring writers by sharing publication tips.

Published in Business Insider, SUCCESS, Scary Mommy, Parents, TRAILS, Motherly, Viator, Earth Island Journal, among others. My work is syndicated on platforms such as Yahoo, Newsbreak, MSN, and AOL

My novel-length work is represented by Allison Remcheck of Stimola Literary Studio.
