Matthew Prins

I was born from my mother in the feral heart of Canada (Edmonton, Alberta) where I grew, almost everyday, on a farm. On a farm there are two things for a curious boy to do: (1.) Walk about and (2.) tell himself stories. And so, with such a childhood, I am now both (1.) desperate for someone to be close to and (2.) a writer. Currently, after completing studies in journalism and screenwriting, I work for Benetton’s research center, Fabrica, under the Creative Writing Department.Within BenettonTalk I am Pudka - a nickname given to me by my mother, from whom I was born.

Guillermo Rivero

He was born in town where a catholic church stands over an Aztec pyramid. One can still visit both; one can indulge himself between the cults of either of the gods that are worshiped there. Growing up in such a place, he understood diversity and how identity matters. After growing, running, studying and learning valuable life lessons, he writes and he enjoys it.
