Alexandra Garland (Santiago, Chile) was born in Santiago, Chile. She is a public relations specialist and sommelier. Although she felt drawn to the act of writing from a young age, it was not until a bit later in life that she was able to truly dedicate time to this passion.

In 2009, she moved to Vietnam, where she worked at an international clinic. After two years, she decided to leave the clinic to work as an independent sommelier. In 2015, she enrolled in a creative writing workshop with Ana María Güiraldes and once again started to work on her first novel, Traces of Laura. In 2016, she moves to Hong Kong, where she currently resides.
