As a fiction writer, she published her first book of short stories in 2007, after winning the Contest for Unpublished Authors held by Monte Ávila Editores.[9] After that, she published the short story book “Aviones de papel”.[10] In 2011, she won the I National Biennial of Literature Gustavo Pereira with her book “Historias de mujeres perversas”,[11] which was published in 2013 by El perro y la rana.[12] In 2024, she published her fourth short story collection, "El país de las pesadillas".[13]
