Happy Publication Day! My translation of "Above the Sand, Under the Skin" by Uruguayan writer Ramiro Sanchiz is out today in Translunar Travelers Lounge!!!
This is a weird sci-fi story exploring what happens after the body of a giant robot woman washes up on the beach of a coastal village.
The Spanish-language of this story has been published at least 5 times, but this is the first time it has appeared in English! :D

In 2025, I had 3 translations of sci-fi stories (by Susana Calvo, David Mancera, and Antonio A. Huelgas) + 1 short story + 1 nonfiction essay published!
Links here --> linktr.ee/molowrites_traductora
2025 was an extremely difficult year for me, and seeing these pieces published brought me much joy. Many thanks to Merganser Magazine, Slab Press, Salvage Magazine, Neon Dystopia, and SFWA for making my year better!
