Ana Cortes is the creator, writer, and illustrator of Marco, Pablo, & Olivia. Ana was inspired to create Marco, Pablo, & Olivia after taking a two-month trip to Ecuador in summer 2018. Ana’s original plan was to be a character designer for the animation industry, having grown up with a love of cartoons. 

But after writing her middle-grade graphic novel, Marco, Pablo and Olivia: Futbol Tryouts, she was hooked on comic books and fell in love with writing and a new dream was born. Award-winning author, Ana currently lives a happy life in Southern California with her family and is ready to tell more stories to the world!
