Alejandra Costamagna
“Sometimes the most powerful stories come wrapped in silences.”

Peel the Author
Alejandra Costamagna is a Chilean writer, journalist, and editor born in Santiago in 1970. Her work treads lightly but cuts deep. With a quiet, precise voice, she draws intimate portraits of generational rupture, migration, and the unease of belonging. Her prose is often elliptical—tracing what goes unsaid, what slips between people over time, over miles, and through memory. Her stories don't crescendo. They echo.
Voice
"Every time we came back to Argentina, I tried to understand what exactly I was returning to."
Costamagna’s characters move like ghosts across borders and bloodlines. She writes not from the centre of drama but from its aftermath—where absence takes shape and silence becomes language.
