Borja Cabada is an award-winning Spanish author, screenwriter, and illustrator whose career combines narrative talent, international recognition, and a deep love for storytelling. A recipient of the prestigious Fulbright Scholarship in 2012, he earned his MA in Writing and Publishing from DePaul University in Chicago, one of the cultural capitals of the United States.

His first novel, El sonido de Atlantis (Algaida), won the Logroño Novel Prize for Young Writers in 2017, establishing him as one of the most promising emerging voices of his generation. A lifelong lover of children’s and young adult literature, he grew up captivated by haunted houses, scary stories, and treasure hunts. There’s nothing like a good adventure!

Los Bregonautas, his middle-grade debut, is a trilogy where mystery, magic, and friendship coexist with the occasional ghost up to its old tricks.

The adventure, boys and girls, has only just begun.
