Tristina Wright

Tristina Wright is a popular science fiction and fantasy author who writes for young adult readers. She stands out online for her blue hair, her views on bisexuality, and struggles with anxiety. She writes young adult novels with lead characters are queer teens engage in what would be deemed not too conventional behavior. Her husband is a nerd who is an expert computer builder, though his most endearing attribute is his ability to make the sun shine with a simple mile. She has a degree in creative writing though she does not believe that she needs it to be a good writer. For Wright who took the course because it was the one most interesting to her, the most important thing for a writer is having a message to pass across. Tristina was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease in early 2015, a psychological tremor, and generalized anxiety disorder that have significantly hampered her writing career. Given the feast and famine nature of a writing career she applied for emergency medical funding from the SFWA to help pay for spiraling expenses. Nonetheless, even with her issues with her health, she has remained determined to make a career for herself as a professional writer. Most days she can be found reclining on her couch writing her novels while sipping coffee and making up stories for her two children.
