Catalina Morales Velez is a creative non-fiction writer who lives and works in Edmonton, Alberta. A native of Colombia, she depicts in her work common places, situations and scenarios filled with magical elements and high-consciousness encounters.

Despite being all rooted in words, her creations come to life in other mediums like drawing, the 9th art–comics, and stop-motion, among others.

As a child, she always loved to hear and tell stories, an appetite that soon evolved into a profession as she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication at the North Catholic University (Universidad Catolica del Norte). This parallel to diplomas in Marketing and Advertising. Plus, a Graduate Diploma in Urban Communications* at UPB (Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana).

Catalina’s work has been featured in Colombia, Canada, and U.S.A. magazines, including Entrepreneur Magazine, Life As A Human Magazine, The Polyglot Magazine, and Revista Cronopio. She is a member of the Writer’s Guild of Alberta, has recently started serving as an editorial board member of The Polyglot Magazine and continuously supports literary initiatives worldwide.

*Urban Communication: By using communication, journalism, urban art, and artistic expressions that represent aspects of the traditional culture of a specific area or simply of the most predominant social movements in a territory, the communication-city relationships transversally traverse art, language, media, social interactions, and humanity itself.
