Regina Rodríguez Sirvent

Regina Rodríguez Sirvent, born in Puigcerdà in 1983, graduated in psychology, but after working in the field for a year realised it wasn’t for her. She moved abroad in search of herself. On her return, she studied screenwriting at ESCAC and took novel-writing courses at the Ateneu Barcelonès. She has published articles, written scripts for TV programmes and presented video reports.

Unlike most début authors, she had never won a literary contest or ‘floral games’ when she published Les calces al sol (Panties in the Sun), her first novel. However, a year later – following its success, with more than 30,000 readers – she won the L’Illa dels Llibres popular vote prize.
