Caroline Wood is a Filipina-Irish writer and versatile artist born and based in Chicago, IL. Although her degree is in English, she specializes in many forms of storytelling, including marketing, digital illustration, graphic design, and content creation. Her poetry has been published in Loyola University's Diminuendo and her debut YA novel Nowhere Where the Honeybees Live was self-published in 2022. She was awarded the James Charles Cox Memorial Award for Literary Study in 2023, dubbed a "literary unicorn" - a rare blend of excellence in craft and study with leading, empathetic character.
She has illustrated for Kapwa Magazine, a publication for Filipinx Diaspora and pre-colonial culture, and the Tales from the Garden comic anthology from Garden Comics.
Her style is hopeful, intimate, and often humorous, focusing on tangible spaces, intricate characters, and flowing prose. When she's not creating something, she's tending to her aquarium or the conservatory acquiring in her bedroom.
