Abstract

The article presents an interview with Irene Vasco, a Colombian writer recognized for her work in promoting reading. Her ability to tell funny and unpretentious stories that take us into the territory of domestic life and intimacy is highlighted. Her experience in the United States, her background as a reader and television viewer, and her career in the publishing world are mentioned. The growth of the international market for children's literature in Colombia and the difficulties that authors faced in terms of contracts and royalties are also discussed. The work of Enlace, a couple who created their own publishing fund, and the collaboration of Juventud, a Spanish publisher, in the publication of Irene's books in Europe and the United States, are highlighted.
