My name is Lila Quintero Weaver. I am the author-illustrator of a graphic memoir and a children’s book.  Here’s a quick introduction to my work.

• Heralded by Book Riot in its “100 Must-Read Graphic Memoirs,” Darkroom: A Memoir in Black & White is an illustrated account of my family’s early years as Argentine immigrants in Alabama, where we encountered the Civil Rights Movement in its most turbulent decade. Learn more here.
• Also available: Cuarto oscuro: Recuerdos en blanco y negro, the Spanish edition of Darkroom. Click here for interior views. Both versions were published through the University of Alabama Press. 
• In 2018, My Year in the Middle, a novel for young readers, was published by Candlewick Press. For details, go to this page.
