Alfonso Castillo (Pobra do Caramiñal, 1985) studied journalism and screenwriting in Santiago de Compostela, Barcelona, Prague and Havana. He began working in journalism but his professional career soon veered towards the audiovisual industries. He worked as a scriptwriter and editor on a television series. He has also been employed as a tour guide writer and vintager. "A good editor is the main character of my wet dreams. I fantasise about being able to put myself in his/her experienced hands and not worrying about promoting books so I can concentrate on writing. But that's not the way the world works. I'm part of the "self-everything" generation and self-promotion is part of that."
