ESTRELLA MARTÍN PECCIS was born in Zaragoza, Spain, where she completed her studies and earned a degree in Hispanic Philology. In 1990 she joined the national corps of secondary school teachers and soon afterward settled in Alicante, the city where she has lived ever since with her husband and their two children. She currently teaches in the Department of Language and Literature at IES San Blas.

Throughout her career, she has also held significant leadership positions within the Spanish public education system. She served as Department Chair at IES de Torrellano, coordinating curriculum and faculty within her subject area, and later as Head of Studies at IES La Melva, where she was responsible for academic oversight, institutional discipline, and faculty coordination.

Her work as an educator has often intersected with her longstanding engagement with the arts. She has taken part in pedagogical innovation projects and has directed numerous theatrical productions, writing or adapting scripts and performing in several of them, including stagings that brought to life texts by Dario Fo. She also presented a work by Luis Leante in theatrical form.

Writing has always been central to her life and to her way of understanding the world. She has written extensively, focusing on novels and short stories, as well as fiction for young readers. One of her young adult manuscripts circulated informally among students at CEU Murcia and led to an invitation to speak with the classes that had read it, an experience she describes as especially meaningful.

Her work has received international recognition. She was a finalist for the First International Prize of the Museo de la Palabra, a competition that brought together writers from forty-four countries.

She is currently working on a novel set in the medieval period.
