Publishing student and aspiring publisher

An avid reader since childhood, I've always had a passion for the imaginary in all its forms. Whether through literature, cinema, video games or any other genre, fiction and imagination are essential to me. So I decided to go into the world of books and work in a publishing house to take part in the life of this environment that I love so much.
