Biography
Andrea Chapela is a Mexican writer born in Mexico City on 1990. She studied chemistry at UNAM, then earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa, establishing herself across multiple genres and languages. Her bibliography spans a young adult tetralogy called Vâudïz, the essay collection Grados de miopía (translated into English as The Visible Unseen by Kelsi Vanada), and short story collections including Un año de servicio a la habitación and Ansibles, perfiladores y otras máquinas de ingenio. She was selected for the Clarion West Writers Workshop in 2017, a flagship residency for speculative fiction. Her career has been supported by major institutional grants: a two-year residency at the Residencia de Estudiantes in Madrid with a working grant for an essay collection, and two FONCA scholar awards (2016-2017 for stories, 2019-2020 for novels). As a writer, she performs the dual labor of creation and translation across cultures, moving fluidly between Spanish-language originals and English-language editions. Born under Capricorn, she brings a methodical sensibility to her work—chemistry background meets literary craft. Her life-path number 3 suggests creative expression and communication as core themes in her trajectory.
