Heather Ann Pulido

Heather Ann F. Pulido is a Kankanaey-Ibaloi writer and teacher who grew up in Baguio City's palengke. She navigates class, womanhood, Indigenous identity, and the many meanings of “home” in her work, published in local and international journals and zines. She also pens fiction for children in English, Filipino, Ilokano, and Kankanaey. One of these stories earned a prize in the 70th Carlos Palanca Awards. In 2024, she co-founded ili press, an indie publisher that spotlights stories and writers from North Luzon. Through anthologies and free writing workshops, the press aims to herald a culturally responsive and inclusive Cordillera literature. Heather is also a member of Ubbog Cordillera Writers and the LGBTQI+ writers’ collective Kinaiya.
