Jacinta Escudos

Fiction writer, columnist and blogger from El Salvador. I have 8 published books and write an op-ed column on the Sunday magazine of my country’s main newspaper, La Prensa Gráfica. The themes I deal with in my narrative as in my op-ed are daily life, the struggle of human beings in search of happiness, how politics and prejudice affect individuals and their roles in society, among other matters.
I’m blogging since 2005. The themes I deal with in my personal blog are mostly related with literature, culture and how these can affect daily life into a change for a better society and the construction of better individuals. I’m also active on Twitter and Facebook since 2009.
