Catalina Infante Beovic (Buenos Aires, 1984) is a writer, editor, and holds a master’s degree in Print Journalism. She co-authored three books of stories based on Chile’s Indigenous peoples, work for which she was twice nominated for the Altazor Awards and selected for the IBBY Honour List for the quality of her writing.
