Other Proyects

My love for books made me  create El elfo que lee: It is a space where we talk about books (Zoom and Instagram meetings), which is also an online bookstore. (I confess i would like to own a physical bookstore aswell!)

I am the organizer and instructor of a four-week Creative Writing Course.

Cuaderno en blanco
"Aki was the fantastic editor of my stories. She did it not only professionally but also with great care, which is not very common. Her perspective as a mother and a lover of literature added a fundamental extra touch. Her precise and always necessary contributions helped get the stories perfectly ready to face the world. Aki was both my editor and my teacher in various aspects of writing that I didn’t know about. I absolutely recommend her, from here to China."
