Hernán Casciari

Hernán Casciari is the creator and publisher of the magazine Orsai, independent publication that circulates through the five continents through a network of distribution generated by their readers, and already exceeds the 5000 annual subscribers. In addition, each new issue of the magazine can be downloaded free from the Internet. Casciari lives in Barcelona and became known in 2005 following the success of his blog-novel "Diary of a fat woman" which won international awards and became the book "A Little Respect that I am your mother", taken to the theater by Antonio Gasalla. Then edited several books on Plaza & Janes and South American, and was a columnist for El Pais and La Nacion. However in 2010 decided to forgo traditional media and started his own publishing project so that they no longer existed intermediaries with their readers. Thus began the magazine and publishing company Orsai.
