El oficio de escribir Después de quince libros publicados y más de quince años de experiencia en el mundo editorial como correctora, dictaminadora y asesora literaria, en este canal comparto reflexiones y criterios sobre la escritura entendida como oficio y sobre el funcionamiento real de la industria editorial. La misión de este canal es sencilla (y un poco incómoda): que más escritores se tomen a sí mismos menos en serio, mientras toman más en serio lo que hacen.
