Alice Chacon

Alice is a Venezuelan-Canadian writer of fiction that blends magical realism with the political
upheaval and inequality that has scarred the South American country in the past two decades. She has a Journalism and Mass Communications degree from the Universidad Catolica Andres Bello and an MBA from UBC Sauder. Alice started her career as an English-language reporter, editor and correspondent in Caracas, during the early years of Chavismo. She lives in Toronto, where she works in product management and is currently working on her first novel, a coming-of-age story set against the turbulent years of Hugo Chavez’s rule.

Alice is a 2021 GTA mentee and worked with Rawi Hage.
