Álvaro García Hernández is a writer and secondary school teacher specializing in Spanish Language and Literature. Since childhood, he has been closely linked to the world of literature and is the author of several novels aimed at young adult readers.

His first literary work, Ana Ynada (EDISENA, 1997), was published after he became a finalist in the First Emilio Murcia Novel Prize. García Hernández is also known for his blog Diario de un Dios Equivocado, launched in 2007 with the aim of connecting with readers through short stories—a form he admits to having learned and refined in this space, which has become one of the most widely read in Spanish today.

Both the internet and social media have played a key role in his development as a writer. This is evident in TQMC? Te quiero mucho (Sansy, 2011), a serialized novel that achieved great success thanks to its dissemination on the social network Tuenti, as well as in its sequels, published under the same imprint: Te echo de menos (Sansy, 2012) and El propósito de Ana (Sansy, 2014). In 2019, he published Enero y tú desnuda (Alianza).

He was awarded the Gran Angular Prize in 2016 and the Hache Award in 2018 for his children’s novel León Kamikaze.

Outside the literary sphere, Álvaro is a simple man, devoted body and soul to his family, and a regular collaborator with FEDER (Spanish Federation for Rare Diseases)
