Biografía Karen Solar
Karen Solar Morales es una escritora chilena que encontró su pasión por la
escritura al autopublicar en el año 2021 su primera novela, Y al final todo
depende de uno. Esta obra biográfica aborda temas como el amor de familia, el
síndrome de Guillain-Barré y la perseverancia de una mujer de más de noventa
años que, contra todo pronóstico, decide volver a ponerse de pie.
En 2022, Karen lanzó su segunda novela, Emilia y un dolor sin culpa, una obra
de ficción basada en hechos reales. En ella, cuenta la historia de una
sobreviviente que nunca perdió la fe en la posibilidad de un futuro mejor, una
historia estremecedora dedicada a todas esas niñas que sufren en silencio por
miedo y vergüenza.


Durante el año 2023, Karen fue seleccionada en diversas convocatorias
literarias, y sus obras pasaron a formar parte de reconocidas antologías. Su
poema Esperanza fue incluido en la antología Poética de la editorial Litófilos,
su poema Eternamente tú en editorial Diversidad Literaria, y su cuento Mi otra
mitad en Álbum familiar de editorial Komala.
En 2024, Karen escribió Amores que matan y otros que rescatan y tú
¿Volverías a empezar?, una historia de ficción basada en hechos reales que
invita al lector a ser testigo de la lucha de la protagonista por sanar sus heridas
emocionales. La novela explora el poder de las segundas oportunidades y
cómo un corazón roto puede volver a encontrar su rumbo.
Para cerrar el año 2024, Karen ha inscrito su primer poemario titulado Susurros
de mi alma, una profunda exploración de su propio mundo interior a través de
la poesía.


Pero su vida no solo está llena de palabras. Además de su carrera literaria,
Karen es madre de tres hijos y abuela, y ha compaginado su pasión por las
letras con su profesión como técnico en enfermería. Decidió estudiar siendo
adulta, tras haber dedicado su juventud a la crianza de sus hijos.
Actualmente, sigue ejerciendo su carrera en el área de la salud mientras
continúa explorando su amor por la escritura.

Biografía Ana Gerónimo
Ana Gerónimo Maríñez, nacida en República Dominicana, es una escritora y poeta
multifacética. Desde temprana edad, se sumergió en clubes de lectura y declamación de
poesía, cultivando un profundo amor por la palabra escrita.
Con una formación en Ingeniería Agroindustrial y una Maestría en Gestión Comercial y
Marketing, ha trascendido las fronteras geográficas en su ejercicio profesional, residiendo
en diferentes países, lo que le ha brindado una rica perspectiva cultural. Complementó su
formación académica con estudios de literatura creativa en la Escuela de Escritores de
México, lo que fortaleció su pasión por la escritura.


En 2023, dio vida a su primer poemario, Muchos amores y uno solo, una obra poética que
explora las distintas facetas del amor, haciendo especial énfasis en la importancia del
reencuentro con el amor propio como base para alcanzar la plenitud de la vida. Este libro
fue galardonado con una mención honorífica en los International Latino Book Awards 2024,
el prestigioso premio Juan Felipe Herrera al mejor libro de poesía.
Además de su faceta como escritora, es creadora y conductora del programa literario y
cultural Amantes de la poesía, un espacio que conecta las voces poéticas de diferentes
regiones del mundo hispanohablante. En su misión de promover la lectura y la escritura,
también ejerce como gestora cultural del proyecto mexicano BIBLIOREFRI, Lectura fresca,
en República Dominicana. Esta es una iniciativa que promueve el arte, la lectura y la
sostenibilidad, acercando los libros a las comunidades.


Es miembro activo de diversas organizaciones literarias, como FILDOM (Feria Internacional
del Libro de República Dominicana en el exterior) de Hispanic Heritage Literature
Organization (Milibrohispano), una organización que impulsa el avance cultural hispano
mediante programas que fomentan la lectura y escritura creativa en español en Estados
Unidos.


Ana Gerónimo Maríñez define la poesía como el oxígeno en su vida y la escritura como un
canal para la sanación y la reconexión emocional. Su obra y proyectos reflejan su
compromiso con la difusión literaria y cultural, promoviendo la visibilidad y el poder de las
palabras como herramientas de transformación y empoderamiento
