BIO

I was born in Monterrey, Mexico and didn’t care about writing until I was 20 years old. Then I published a few books.

With naiveté, in 2017 I co-created Argonáutica, a literary translation press. I moved to San Diego, CA, in 2019.

In 2024, I graduated from the MFA program in Creative Writing at The City College of New York, where I worked on a memoir-in-essays about my writing life. That same year, I moved to Washington, DC.

BOOKS

My first novel Ruinas (CONARTE/Conaculta 2015) was awarded with the Nuevo Leon Prize in Literature in 2014. In 2017, it came out as Humo with the Mexico City based NitroPress. Before that, I wrote the short story collection Gris infierno (An.alfa.beta 2014) and the children’s book Tlacuache. Historia de una cola (FCAS 2015).

In 2017, I translated the short story collection Melville’s Beard || Las barbas de Melville, by Mark Haber.

My second novel, El vestido verde (The Green Dress), is forthcoming in 2025 with UANL University Press.
