The UNEATLANTICO teacher, Yves Díaz de Villegas, has been chosen to publish his novel in the recently inaugurated publishing imprint of Editorial Planeta, called NdeNovela. This event marks the beginning of the landing of a series of eight literary works that will see the light of day in the year 2024, all of them conceived by emerging authors including Professor Díaz de Villegas.
The new publishing house will begin its adventure next January and will fill bookstores with a diverse selection of entertaining literature. One work per month will be launched until August, and the UNEATLANTICO professor’s novel is scheduled to be released on April 03 next year. Thus, Díaz de Villegas’ work would become the fourth to be published, following the previous ones, which will begin on January 10 with the titles “Muerte en tres texturas” (Death in Three Textures) by Cristian Schleu and “La piel infiel,” (The unfaithful skin) a novel written by Lara Serodio.
As Belén López Celada, the imprint’s editorial director, explains, “NdeNovela will not be pigeonholed into any genre but will host stories of varied types from thrillers to sentimental novels to historical novels. Its goal is to become a benchmark in the creation of literary brands in the coming years, and to achieve this, it is committed to new names, new talents, and of course, new readers.”
The news has caused an impact, and at the national level, more than forty media outlets of different sizes and regions have already echoed the participation of Yves Díaz de Villegas and seven other writers in this event.
