Nieves Delgado was born in Ferrol on 5 August 1968. She studied physics at the University of Santiago de Compostela, later specializing in Astrophysics at the University of La Laguna, Tenerife.[2]
Her knowledge of science together with her passion for the genres of science fiction and horror have made her work revolve around technology and artificial intelligence,[3] almost always with a clear component of philosophical reflection. She began publishing in 2012 ("La condena"),[4] and soon received her first Ignotus Award nomination for her story "Dariya" (2014).[5] The following year, she was nominated again for her short story "Casas Rojas", and this time she won in the Best Story category.[6]
In 2016 she presented her collection of short stories Dieciocho engranajes. Relatos de futuro (Adaliz Ediciones, 2016),[7] and in 2017 her first novella, 36 (Editorial Cerbero, March 2017).[2]
In 2018 Delgado received two Ignotus nominations: Best Novella for 36, and Best Article for "La segunda división de la literatura", in Editorial Cerbero (July 2017).[8] Her latest novel is UNO (Editorial Cerbero, January 2018).[9]
