Carmen Moreno Pérez (Cádiz, 12 March 1974) is a Spanish writer and editor. Her work stands out because of her defense of women's rights and the LGBTQIA+ community, as reflected in her poetry book Más que morir (Madrid, 2006), in which she tackles the issue of violence against women through her narrative.

Biography

Moreno was born in 1974 in Andalusia. She holds a bachelor's degree in Hispanic Philology from the University of Cádiz and a master's degree in accounting and finance from CEREM International Business School. She also holds a master's degree in publishing from the University of Salamanca.

In 1996, she worked with author Fernando Quiñones on his books Las crónicas yugoslavas and Y al Sur, Jimena. Also around that time, she collaborated in several anthologies, and worked for newspaper Diario de Cádiz and radio network Cadena SER. In 2006, she moved to Madrid, where she worked as a cultural technical advisor for the Ministry of Equality and as a proofreader and copyeditor for publishing groups Fondo de Cultura Económica (Spain) and Hotel Papel. In 2009, she worked part-time as a scriptwriter for Televisión Española's quiz show Cifras y letras. Between 2009 and 2010, she worked as technical cultural advisor for the Institute of Youth (INJUVE) in Madrid and as a contributor to cultural review magazine Revista de Letras.

In 2011, she launched Colaterales, a citizens' platform to promote reading and the arts in Cádiz. It was headquartered at the Pay Pay cultural center. In 2014, she returned to Cádiz, where she began her career in publishing at the helm of imprint Cazador de Ratas (later renamed as Cazador). With this imprint, in 2017 she received the Ultratumba award for her venture into the horror and gothic genres.

She has also participated in various events by the Cádiz City Council and the Cádiz Provincial Council to promote reading and writing. With this institution, she toured the entire province with the exhibition El club de las poetas muertas. She also collaborates regularly with the Andalusian Center of Letters (CAL) in programs such as PoetiCAL.

She has shown to be a strong advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community in the field of literature by giving a voice to underprivileged groups. Thus, both from her work as a writer and from the publishing side, she offers a view about what the fight against sexism entails in her field of work, vindicating women as the protagonists.
