Media Party New York

Bibliofilia is an online platform dedicated to Spanish-language literature. It features in-depth interviews with prominent Latin American authors and English-speaking authors whose works intersect with Latin American themes. Our interviews explore authors' writing routines and tips on craft, as well as the significance of their work. Bibliofilia also provides book recommendations, curated insights on new releases, and interactive activities, including virtual and in-person book clubs, for Spanish speaking communities across the Americas. Recently, Bibliofilia won second place at the Media Party University in Buenos Aires for its innovative 'literary map' project, an interactive experience that uses programming to identify bookstores recommended by writers across the American continent, showcasing a creative integration of technology with media platforms and literary exploration. The platform has garnered a significant readership since it was launched 4 months ago, particularly among Spanish speakers in the United States, connecting readers with authors and fostering a vibrant literary community. Very few major literary publications include space for literature in Spanish, and as the number of Spanish speakers in the United States steadily increases, we hope to fill that gap. Looking ahead, Bibliofilia aims to evolve into a hub for Latin American literature, uniting readers and writers across the continent in a community of people connected by Hispanic heritage and love for literature. By offering original content on Latin American books, supporting authors, and promoting conversations, Bibliofilia aspires to bridge regional gaps and enrich cross-cultural understanding of Spanish-language literature, contributing to a deeper appreciation of contemporary literature and its cultural impact.
