BackgroundAcosta has written for the San Francisco Chronicle and Contra Costa Times as a freelancer and attended Stanford University.[2] She met with some difficulty when trying to publish her work, as some publishers wanted her to write more in the magical realism genre popularized by Isabelle Allende, and of comparisons to other Latino or Latina writers, Acosta has stated that "All these Latino writers come from a different background ... No matter what they write, it's going to get compared to Gabriel Marquez. But they're not comparing all Irish-Americans to James Joyce."[2] In 2006 Acosta's Happy Hour at Casa Dracula was named one of Catalina magazine's "Top 5 Books by Latina Authors" for that year due to its characters and writing.[3] In 2010 Acosta chose to publish her young adult novel The Shadow Girl Of Birch Grove for free online via Scribd.[4] Acosta and her agent had previously sent the work out to various publishers, who had not shown any true interest in the work.[4] After the work was published online the book became the top ranked YA book on the site and Acosta received a book deal through Tor Books.[5] Awards
