About Isabelle Palerma
Isabelle Palerma lives in midwestern USA but fantasizes about running away to Florence, Italy someday. She writes fiction as well as poetry. Isabelle loves hiking, dancing badly at concerts, traveling, escaping to fictional worlds through her avid reading, and is a secret adrenaline junkie. She’s been writing since she was seven, but fortunately, most of her early writing about talking dogs and dancing gumdrops have faded into obscurity.
She has been published in eight anthologies and has had her fiction compared to Gabriel Garcia Marquez and her poetry has been praised as “powerful” and “breathtaking”. She will be published in two more anthologies in 2026.
She has written a chapbook that is currently seeking a home and loves to write a variety of styles – literary fiction as well as genre fiction such as dystopian sci-fi; dark fantasy; and paranormal women’s fiction, to name a few, in addition to free verse, confessional poetry.
She fights for survivors of domestic violence and intimate partner violence as well as supports mental health resources and advocates against suicide.
If you read fiction to escape & poetry to be found, you have come to the right place.
