The story of how I founded Líneas del Sur is a simple one–I wanted to be a part of the literary culture of Argentina, but couldn't find in the United States, any of the authors or titles my friends recommended.

I live in Seattle, but grew up in Argentina, and whenever I am home in Buenos Aires, I ask my best friend for book recommendations. She's my connection to current local culture, which is so vibrant, changes so rapidly, that it's almost impossible to stay on the cutting edge if you aren't actually there.

So we went to a local bookstore together where I purchased over ten books based on her suggestions - authors and titles that are not available in the US. They were worth the weight in my suitcase!

When the global pandemic kept me from making my annual trip home I ran out of small press books to read, and then I had an epiphany: if I can't travel home for books then I should find another way to bring them to the United States.

​

This is how Líneas del Sur became a reality.

For those who get homesick (as I do) Líneas del Sur is a community for you to connect with emerging voices in Latin American literature. We also bring opportunities for those that want to explore new horizons and discover new cultures.

Please join me in enjoying the vast and exciting cultures from Latin America through books, stories and fresh voices!
