Publisher and Fiction Writer. Independent Publishing House La Cifra Editorial Founder and CEO from 2005 to 2020, specialized in Latin American and European Literature and Graphic Novel.
As an editor, I have published and managed teams of editors, illustrators, writers and assistants for over 80 books of every genre (essay, literature, comic, children’s books, art books). I also obtained several publishing grants from embassies and cultural institutes from Taiwan, France, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, Portugal and Japan. I was chosen to be part of the Istanbul Fellowship 2018, with publishers from all over the world, and to negotiation rounds in Santiago de Chile and Medellin as well as at a discussion table on comic and independent publishing at various national and international fairs and events. As both publisher and content creator, I have been able keep in touch with comic creators from all over Latin American main countries (Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Mexico) as well as publishers and specialized bookstores and bookfairs.
My publishing skills goes from managing projects to acquiring talent, proof reading, foreign rights negotiations, content creation, positive feedback for authors/artists and publishing processes.
My work as an editor has been reviewed in the prestigious publication Publishing Perspectives.
Currently, my main activity in the company I founded is catalogue design and foreign rights acquiring.
My goal as an independent publisher has been to promote professional standards in the Mexican and Latin American Publishing Industry and particularly in the area of comic and graphic novel. The LA book market is constantly growing, but we often face financial and economic problems, lack of authorship support, very few bookstores and libraries, poor distribution and so on. As publisher, I introduced to Mexican market comic authors and publishing houses unknown to the main audiences (L'Association from France, Galaga from Denmark, Coconino from Italy, for example) and also promote better publishing practices among Mexican authors, usually distrustful of publishers and content companies.
As author, I published several novels (three of them received National Awards), comics and short stories over the last 20 years. I also have worked as a content creator for TV Shows, both educational and comercial, and videogames. Here`s the short list of my writer` work:-Novel, The Queen of Sara, SM Ediciones, winner of the National Young Adults Award “Gran Angular”, 2020.Novel, The outcasts’ confort, (unpublished), winner of the National -Novel INBAL Award “José Rubén Romero”, 2019. Novel, The astonishment, Ediciones Ink, winner of the I Digital Novel International Award, 2013. Novel, Everything was dark under the bright sky, La Cifra Editorial, 2012.
