Katie Vaz is an illustrator and hand-letterer based in
Endicott, New York. She designs her own line of greeting cards,
prints, and other stationery products, which are sold both in her
Etsy Shop and in brick and mortar shops across North
America. Katie studied graphic design (BFA) at the Rochester
Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY and integrated design (MA)
at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau, Germany. Katie
is particularly bad at talking about her feelings, so she creates
art that can do it for her.

"Katie Vaz's charming and delightful illustrations will resonate
with introverts who are trying desperately to find a balance
between social time and their need for solitude. Whether you
struggle with devising the right excuse to leave a crowded
party early, or are in dire need of strategies to avoid small talk
with the chatty neighbor, Katie's new book has got you
covered. It is filled with oh-so-relatable moments accompanied with
witty and helpful tips on how to plan your smooth escape. I
wish I had this book sooner. It would have saved me a lot of
angst from awkward social situations!”
*Debbie Tung, author of Quiet Girl in a Noisy World*
“This book is so cute and fun! Katie Vaz has given us a fun little
how-to guide for all those moments when we’re trapped in a
situation with *gasp* another human, and have to find a way out
without socializing. It’s a wonderful addition to the introvert
cartoon collection.”
*Book Riot*
“An extra amount of solitude is necessary for us to feel sane, yet
finding ways to explain that to extroverts can be tricky. Just
because we don’t want to go doesn’t mean we don’t like them. That
can be hard to get across kindly. Here are some cheeky cover
stories for when “I just want to be home” isn’t going to cut
it.”
*Elephant Journal*
“Overlooked for years — just as they would prefer! — this
personality type is literally all around you just waiting to find
merchandise that speaks to just them.”
*Stationery Trends*
“Katie and I discuss her newest book, The Escape Manual for
Introverts which is hilarious and honest, and not only do I love
the book, but my son has taken to it so much and even kissed one of
the characters yesterday.”
