Bilingual author, actress and screenwriter Maria Amparo Escandón said she started writing at the age of 7 by taking that piece of her grandmother’s advice to heart, explaining that the art of writing is “trying to trick people into believing what you say.”
Escandón, 50, is a creative writing instructor at UCLA. She came to Salem for two days in February from her home in Los Angeles to speak as part of the Salem Public Library’s Modern Voices Author Series.”*
