Marta Orriols (Sabadell, 1975) is a Catalan writer from Spain.[1] She graduated in History of Art but she decided to continue her training within the field of writing, which had led her to author a collection of short stories Anatomia de les distàncies curtes (2016) and her first novel, Aprendre a parlar amb les plantes (2018). A writer in the literature-of-manners style, her texts portray the complexity of human relations with highly emotionally-charged prose.[2][3]
She studied cinematographic scriptwriting at the Bande à Part film school in Barcelona and creative writing at the Ateneu Barcelonès. She occasionally works as an editorial reader and is a contributor to several digital newspapers and magazines, publishing literary and cultural chronicles. She received the 2018 Òmnium Prize for best Catalan-language novel by Òmnium Cultural, the No Llegiu Prize, and the Illa dels Llibres Prize for Best Novel of 2018.[4] Her novel has been translated to several languages, including English (Learning to talk to plants, published by Pushkin Press)[5] and French.[6] She lives in Barcelona with her two sons.[4]
