She released it online for free on Scribd. In 2010, Marta shifted her focus towards writing young adult stories and subsequently published the book, The Shadow Girls of Birch Groce. The book received this recognition mainly because of its writing and character descriptions. In 2006, Marta’s debut book was chosen as one of the top 5 books by Latina Writers of that year by the Catalina magazine. However, the critics do not compare the works of all Irish-American writers to that of James Joyce’s. Whatever they will write will automatically get compared to the likes of Gabriel Marquez. And when her work was compared to the Latina or Latino writers, she said that the Latino writers came from an altogether different background. The publishers demanded that she write more of her stories in the magical realism, which was made popular by Isabelle Allende. During the early phase of her career, Marta faced some difficulty in trying to get her work published. Over the course of her writing career, Marta has written as a freelance writer for Contra Costa Times and San Francisco Chronicle. In addition to writing under the original name, she uses the pseudonym Grace Coopersmith for writing some of her novels. Recently, Marta started a new series called Coyote Run and published its first book, The Dog Thief, in 2018. She has also penned a nonfiction book in her career, called Make It Catchy. Additionally, Marta has written several mind-blowing standalone books, including The She-Hulk Diaries, Girls Are Gone, Dark Companion, and Fancy That. She is particularly famous for writing the Casa Dracula book series. Marta Acosta is a renowned American writer and novelist of urban fantasy, chick-lit, and young adult books.
