Busy last few days for us here at Victorina with 2 launches in Wales. The Chapel in Abergavenny and Cardigan Castle, Cardigan. A huge thank you to everyone who came down to support Rhiannon and her novel, as well as to those who helped with the running of these two events.
Both days were very successful; lots of books sold and great evenings all round. Lots of driving though and some terrible weather on the way back home!
If you would like to see the pictures from theses events, check out our gallery!

Last night was the first book launch of My Beautiful Imperial by Rhiannon Lewis. A big thank you to The Embassy Of Chile for the use of their space for our first launch.
It was a wonderful night with lots of great questions, including one child asking what the red star meant on the book cover! Brilliant question no adult would think of…. it is actually the planet Mars which has a great importance to the main character, Davy.
The team are very tired now, we had a game of travel scrabble on our way to London, Can you guess who won?

The final pieces of our soon- to- be published novel, My Beautiful Imperial by Rhiannon lewis, are coming together. Soon we will be able to announce launch events and dates. Currently got three coming up; it’s all very exciting. The Short Story competition is also well under way, lots of entries so far. They all look great. Remember the closing date is the 30/09/2017! So get those stories in! Looks like our judges will have a tough time picking…
Victorina Press has decided to run a competition in honour of the centenary of Violeta Parra, a Chilean social activist and folk singer/composer. ( Find out more about Violeta Parra here ) This has importance for our Managing director and founder of Victorina Press, Consuelo Rivera-Fuentes, who grew up in Chile and was also involved in social movements. So, in honour of Violeta Parra Victorina Press decided to choose a topic that gets people thinking about the lives and struggles of everyday people trying to survive in social and political upheavals and how they find their voices and ways through this. It also allows us to pay our respects to those who resist and continue to educate people through the arts and joy of literary works.
The stories have to be written in Spanish and winners will have the opportunity for their work to be published in a collection of poems to be released in 2018 as well as cash prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize. Heres a link to the rules of the competition. (This link will direct you to our Facebook profile)[/vc_column_text[/vc_column_tex
