Biography

Nieves Delgado was born in Ferrol on 5 August 1968. She studied physics at the University of Santiago de Compostela, later specializing in Astrophysics at the University of La Laguna, Tenerife.
Her knowledge of science together with her passion for the genres of science fiction and horror have made her work revolve around technology and artificial intelligence, almost always with a clear component of philosophical reflection. She began publishing in 2012, and soon received her first Ignotus Award nomination for her story "Dariya". The following year, she was nominated again for her short story "Casas Rojas", and this time she won in the Best Story category.
In 2016 she presented her collection of short stories Dieciocho engranajes. Relatos de futuro, and in 2017 her first novella, 36.
In 2018 Delgado received two Ignotus nominations: Best Novella for 36, and Best Article for "La segunda división de la literatura", in Editorial Cerbero. Her latest novel is UNO.
