To any reader that finds his or her way here: I appreciate your gift of time, and the encouragement it provides. I hope you find something enjoyable among the dozens of pieces available in my publication, The Ink Never Dries. It is a collection of my work starting from 2014. For specific categories, see these subpages:

Book lovers will find my Reading Log (BOOKS I READ) a fun detour. Each entry includes a short summary with a link at the bottom to the previous book on the list. Or visit the yearly compilations, also on the log.

Besides here on Medium, my writing has been published in The East End Beacon, Huellas Magazine, The Latinx Project at NYU, Korean American Stories, LEVEL, and Memoir Mondays.

I’m also working on a couple of longer projects. One is a memoir chronicling two years of my childhood. It’s an attempt to reformulate the propellant used for an improbable journey: from a tiny pueblo high in the Andes to a bumpy landing at an Ivy League campus a few years later. The second project is a novella set in the mountains of central Colombia, the flooded grasslands to the east, and the desert by the sea in the north. Thank you for stopping by, - A. Mauricio Matiz V.
