Quintero grew up in the city of Corona. An elderly couple, Victor and Lucia Mejia, helped raise Isabel and her younger brother, and they became their grandparents ({{lang-es|abuelito}}). Quintero attended California State University in San Bernardino where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, and later a Master of Arts in English Composition [1] CareerShe taught English at San Bernardino Valley College and Mt. San Jacinto College. Quintero also is a freelance writer for the Arts Council of San Bernardino[2] and an active member of PoetrIE, an organization working to bring literary arts to Inland Empire communities. She wrote a young adult fiction novel Gabi, A Girl in Pieces (2014),[3] and two books for younger children, Ugly Cat and Pablo (2017)[4] and Ugly Cat and Pablo and the Missing Brother (2017).[5] She has also written a graphic novel, Photographic: The Life of Graciela Iturbide[6] WorksQuintero has published several books and a number of poems. Her publications are: BooksGabi, A Girl in PiecesCinco Puntos Press 2014 This book is a coming of age story; the journal entries of Gabi, a young Mexican American teenage girl, display her feelings as she works through the events that occur during her senior year of high school. On top of applying to colleges and dreaming about her top school, Gabi struggles with body image, her best friend's teen pregnancy, another friend coming out, her father's methamphetamine addiction, and her mother's disapproval. Her journal entries manifest Gabi's struggle with the desire to go away to college and what she feels is expected of her as a young Mexican American woman. Through writing, Gabi finds her voice.[7] Awards
Poetry
ThemesA few key themes arise throughout Quintero's writing. In all but one of her published works, the protagonists are women. Quintero unwraps sexism and prejudice through both young and adult characters, in both adolescent and middle-aged periods of life. Gabi is coming of age, whereas Martha concludes in her coffin. The male characters often demand submission, as in Moanin' the Blues, and in Stories Our Mother Told Us and Mi Tía La Bruja, an element of magical realism dances around witchcraft. Another key theme is racial inequality, especially that of the Mexican American community in Southern California and the southwest region of the United States. Quintero writes about the immigrant experience, often through the eyes of a first-generation character. She highlights the struggles of a working-class family and the socioeconomic status that binds the Mexican American community. In a 2017 interview Quintero stated, "Whenever I drive on 91 going toward Orange County, and I see the homes on the hills, I think about how much my dad worked in homes we could never afford...That is a strange paradox in which to exist." In the same interview, Quintero declared, "My writing is my activism."[17] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=https://elpasoheraldpost.com/tag/isabel-quintero/|title=Isabel Quintero Archives|last=|first=|date=3 April 2018|website=El Paso Herald-Post|language=en-US|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 September 2018}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://artsconnectionnetwork.org/|title=Home - Arts Connection|last=Sandi|website=artsconnectionnetwork.org|language=en-gb|access-date=2018-01-06}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/isabel-quintero/gabi-girl-in-pieces/|title=Gabi, a Girl in Pieces|last=|first=|date=1 September 2014|website=Kirkus reviews|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 September 2018}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/isabel-quintero/ugly-cat-pablo/|title=Ugly Cat and Pablo|last=|first=|date=25 April 2017|website=Kirkus Reviews|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 September 2018}} 5. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/isabel-quintero/ugly-cat-pablo-and-the-missing-brother/|title=Ugly Cat Pablo and the Missing Brother|last=|first=|date=28 April 2018|website=Kirkus Reviews|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2 September 2018}} 6. ^1 {{Cite news|url=https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/2018/05/31/globe-horn-book-winners-named/1P0bMxC7CNK3PewND5N21K/story.html|title=2018 Globe-Horn Book winners named|last=Steiner|first=Robert|date=31 May 2018|work=The Boston Globe|access-date=2 September 2018}} 7. ^{{youtube|id=Hy_Iwrzy2-Y |title=Book Trailer: Gabi, A Girl in Pieces]}} 8. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.ala.org/yalsa/2015-morris-award|title=2015 Morris Award|last=|first=|date=15 November 2015|work=Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)|access-date=2 September 2018|language=en}} 9. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.ala.org/yalsa/2015-quick-picks-reluctant-young-adult-readers|title=2015 Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers|last=|first=|date=2 February 2015|work=Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)|access-date=2 September 2018|language=en}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.ala.org/yalsa/2015-best-fiction-young-adults|title=2015 Best Fiction for Young Adults|last=|first=|date=|website=Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA)|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150512184356/http://www.ala.org/yalsa/2015-best-fiction-young-adults|archive-date=12 May 2015|dead-url=|access-date=2 September 2018}} 11. ^[https://asusjournal.org/issue-3/isabel-s-quintero-poetry/ Stories Our Mother Told Us Full poem and audio reading] 12. ^[https://asusjournal.org/issue-3/isabel-s-quintero-poetry/ Moanin' the BluesFull poem and audio reading ] 13. ^[https://xicanopoetrydaily.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/isabel-quintero-flores-martha-mi-tia-la-bruja/ Martha Full poem] 14. ^[https://xicanopoetrydaily.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/isabel-quintero-flores-martha-mi-tia-la-bruja/ Mi Tía La Bruja Full poem] 15. ^Pig Pen Full poem 16. ^[https://journalwomenwriters.wordpress.com/2013/01/03/viscera-vol-1-winter-2012/ Full Frontal text] 17. ^{{Cite news|url=https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/my-writing-is-my-activism-an-interview-with-isabel-quintero/|title="My Writing is My Activism": An Interview with Isabel Quintero - Los Angeles Review of Books|work=Los Angeles Review of Books|access-date=2018-01-06|language=en-US}} External links
