Ana Obregón admits that she already received an advance for her book but does not clarify where that money is

About the rights of The Shrew Boy, Obregón already responded at the time, both in conversations with different journalists and in the statements issued by the Foundation, that the settlements will be made in March and this Thursday, from the Sonsoles Onega, promised to send screenshots of the transfers when they arrive.

However, Obregón finally admitted that he has received a advance from the publisher HarperCollins, a money that he has collected, as he acknowledged this Thursday, and that Antena 3 already estimated days ago at an amount of no less than one hundred thousand euros. Specifically, journalist Laura Fa said on January 4 in Espejo Público, citing sources from the publishing house, that it would be between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand euros. When she entered by phone this Thursday to explain herself on the Sonsoles program, journalist Nacho Gay asked her if there is such an advance: “There is an advance and some copyrights,” the biologist remarked. “You know the contracts are confidential. Sonsoles knows that writing a book takes many months. This book is written with blood ink that came from my heart. When I signed the contract, one of the clauses stated that all the money went directly to the foundation and it is a confidentiality contract.

On the same network for which Ana Obregón spoke this Thursday, At the beginning of the month, Laura Fa gave specific information about this advance payment, of which the author does not clarify the details: she received the first amount upon signing the contract. A second amount was given to her when she handed over the original; and a third of the advance was given to him when the book went on sale. This is how they told it in Public mirrorciting sources from the publisher: he has received an amount of no less than 100,000 euros, although the range raised the amount to 200,000 euros.

Ana Obregón hides behind confidentiality and therefore does not finish clarifying whether all the benefits of the book go to the Foundation or only the copyright and the advance payment separately and are for her. On her day, and again this Thursday, she justified not having paid the fees because they are not collected until March; but she admits to having collected the advance: Why hasn't that part been transferred already? Is that part for her?
