Mariana Romo-Carmona was born and raised in Santiago, Chile. In the late sixties, she emigrated to the U.S.
with her parents when she was 14. Her fiction in English and in Spanish reflects the theme of immigration and often its alienating
and fragmenting effects. As an emerging writer, Romo-Carmona worked to create spaces for the publication of voices from lesbian,
gay, and communities of color. She produced the first lesbian and gay bilingual radio program with a feminist perspective
in the late 70s, and as co-founder of Latina lesbian groups in Boston and New York City, she went on to participate in international
networks in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico. Among other things, she became one of the early members of Kitchen Table:
Women of Color Press and co-edited the ground-breaking anthology Cuentos: Stories by Latinas, in 1983.
Copies of Cuentos, Living at Night and Speaking like an Immigrant can be obtained from booksellers through Amazon.com, or
you can contact Mariana directly at mariana@livingatnight.com
If you'd like to obtain a copy of Conversaciones: Relatos por padres y madres de hijas lesbianas e hijos gay (in Spanish),
you can go directly to the publisher, Cleis Press.
