Anaïs Baranda Barrios (Madrid, 1983) studied audio-visual communication and has a master’s in radio and TV journalism. She loves cinema and storytelling. For many years she has worked in various communications media. She has been writing since she was a little girl although she had to put writing on the backburner for a while, until in 2105 she wrote a play for children. As a result of this work, a friend encouraged her to take up storytelling again. She enrolled in her first creative writing course and then a few mores before specialising in children’s and young adult literature. She has a blog where she reviews books, and she collaborates on a radio show where she recommends children’s and young adult literature. Now, apart from writing she is also completing a master’s in teaching creative writing and also gives workshops for children and grown-ups.
