Orlando Echeverri Benedetti (born 26 October 1980 in Cartagena)[1] is a Colombian writer based in the United Kingdom. He has previously worked for the newspaper El Universal. El Malpensante[2] and Universo Centro[3] have also both published some his short stories and articles. In 2014 he was awarded the Bogotá Institute of Arts Book Award with his novel "Sin freno por la senda equivocada",[4][5] which was later published by El Peregrino Ediciones.[6] His second novel, "Criacuervo", was published the following year by Angosta Editores and selected as one of the best Colombian books in 2017[7] by SOHO magazine. Criacuervo was also one of the final novels selected for the National Book Prize of the Colombian Ministry of Culture in 2018.[8][9] In 2018, Random House published his third book, "La fiesta en el cañaveral"[10] a collection of short stories.
In 2019, the Bogotá Institute of Arts invited him to join "Bogotá Contada",[11][12] an initiative that invites Hispanic American writers to visit the Colombian capital to offer lectures and write about the city.
