Abril Posas was born in Guadalajara, Mexico, and knew she wanted to be a writer when she discovered that a story could move her just like a movie or her favorite cartoons. Before publishing her first book of short stories, El triunfo de la memoria (Paraíso Perdido, 2017), she was featured in a number of anthologies including Moscas, niñas y otros muertos (Punto de partida, 2004), El silencio de los cuerpos (Ediciones B, 2015), and Río entre las piedras (Paraíso Perdido, 2016).
In 2019, she quit her job at an advertising agency to write her first novel: Esto no es una canción de amor (Paraíso Perdido, 2020). Her passion since then is sharing how to take the leap from short story to novel with other aspiring writers.
