Juan Pablo Plata (born 1982) is a Colombian writer, journalist and researcher.

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, he studied literature at Universidad de los Andes, before eventually graduating from Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá.

He was anthologized in the book Umpalá (Sic Editores, 2006), Inhabited heart, and Recent Stories about Love in Colombia (Algaida. Grupo Anaya, 2010. Spain).[1] He published one of the first anthologies of Colombian short-stories in the 21st century, called Signals of Path, which featured 27 Colombian authors (Señales de ruta, Arango Editores, 2008 and 2012 ebook re-edition)[2][3][4]

He won two Andiarios journalism awards in 2005 (for a website and for an interview with painter David Manzur) with the magazine La Movida Literaria and a CPB prize in 2006 with the collective journalistic weblog Generación Invisible.

He was an editor of La Movida Literaria [5] (a small literary magazine in Bogotá) which aroused a parody on blogs and a controversy between magazines El Malpensante and Arcadia. He writes book reviews and articles for magazines in the United States (including Level Magazine), Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela (Letralia). As a researcher, he made a proposal for classification of electronic literature under a literary subgenre called "Mortara", to name hybrid literary works that use previous existing and classified genres and sound, images, motion pictures, etc., either in print or in hypertext.[6] He was a MFA student of the bilingual Creative Writing program at the University of Texas at El Paso. He was editor in chief of the bilingual Rio Grande Review.[7] In 2018 he published Arqueo de los días (Inventary of days) with Ibáñez Editores and Silver Editions.[8][9] It was a non fiction personal anthology of journalism, with interviews (to Enrique Vila-Matas, Tryno Maldonado, Juan Villoro), with chronicles and profiles in Spanish. He was an editor of literary horror magazine Léase a plena noche in Colombia. He is a current contributor of magazine Crónica.[10]
