Biography
Xochitl Gonzalez is an American writer and screenwriter born in 1977. Her 2022 debut novel Olga Dies Dreaming became a New York Times Best Seller on January 30, 2022.

That year she was also named a Pulitzer Prize finalist for Commentary, recognizing her critical voice in long-form journalism. As a Capricorn born in early January, Gonzalez embodies the sign's reputation for disciplined ambition—her trajectory shows methodical progression from novel publication to institutional platform to major award recognition. Screenwriters typically work across narrative development, dialogue, and structural storytelling, skills that translate visibly into her Atlantic essays on urban life and cultural identity.
