The publisher Sudamericana proposed to publish these as a book, which appeared under the title Buena leche (Good milk: diaries of a (not so) formal young woman). The stories were written while she was between the ages of 19 and 23. working in collaboration with Hernán Vanoli. This 2014 volume explored the concept of alternative literature, especially as mediated through the culture and practices of the Internet. She also translated a book of "subversive" short stories by the American writer Paula Bomer titled Baby and other Stories (Bebé y otros cuentos). The others included Samanta Schweblin, the Brazilian Natalia Borges Polesso, María José Caro from Peru, Liliana Colanzi from Bolivia, Gabriela Jauregui and Copacabana.

As of 2022 she was still one of the managers of the Momofuku publishing company and she intended to study Creative Writing at the University of Iowa.
