Susana Rodríguez Lezaun
Nacida en Pamplona el 1967. Periodista de vocación y profesión, licenciada en Ciencias de la Información por la Universidad del País Vasco.

Apasionada lectora desde su más tierna infancia, siente predilección por autores latinoamericanos, con especial devoción hacia Gabriel García Márquez, cuyos libros “devoraba” con solo doce años.
