A literary critic, bookseller, and associate professor at Pompeu Fabra University, Marina Porras (Rubí, 1991) is, above all, a lover of literature. When she was just four years old, her mother opened a bookstore, and ever since, she's lived within the literary world. "When I was fifteen, I started a blog and began writing about books, critiques, and reviews. Then, I began doing free contributions, and little by little, I began to get paid ones." Porras combined this with selling books in the family business. "I remember that when we were quite young, not many people around me were working. Back then, I had a friend who worked at a music academy, and it gave us both a lot of security and freedom to have our own money to go to the movies or buy something," she explains.
