My work as an editor

I founded and ran Argonáutica, a literary translation press based out of Monterrey for five years. I started this project with Marco Alcalá back in 2017 and we published twelve books from authors such as Mark Haber, Veronica Esposito, Isabel Zapata, Michal Habaj, Ivan Strpka, David Miklos, Juana Adcock, Bernardo Esquinca, Aurelia Cortés Peyron, Melina Balcázar, and Salo Mochón; with wonderful translations by Robin Myers, Tanya Huntington, Lucia Duero, María Cristina Hall, among others.

I also edit books for clients from different backgrounds at Courier 12, my editorial branding agency.

“Some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.”

― T.S. Eliot
