Author and screenwriter, Miguel has been a key figure in contemporary Dominican literature since 1997, the year in which his first short stories appeared, immediately being recognized in national and international literary competitions, such as Concurso Internacional de Cuentos de Casa de Teatro, and others.
In 2008 he published his first book: BICHÁN, Catorce Cuentos Cortos y el de Montás, a book that consolidated him as a reference within the Dominican literary scene. In 2018, the Antillean publisher Zemí Books, launched the second edition of BICHÁN and published his second short srories compilation, VINYL. In April 2020, he independently launched his third book, TURBULENCIA. By the end of 2023, the US based publisher La Pereza Ediciones took charge of Yarull's first novel, GUAPO, a fast paced, hard hitting story where everything changes in Santo Domingo in just 217 pages. In 2024, and thanks to Princeton University, THE DOMINICAN DREAM, the English translation of his book BICHÁN, is published.
On the film side, his first feature-length script, LA GUNGUNA, was released in 2015, toeing the fine line between his commercial and artistic voice, and marking a milestone in Dominican cinema.
Miguel has won on two occasions the La Silla National Award for excellence in screenwriting. His work has been presented around the world in exhibitions, anthologies, festivals, talks and lectures.
With one of the most extensive filmographies in the Dominican Republic, he currently runs the first writer’s room in the Dominican Republic, WROOM, developing series, documentaries and feature films for different markets.
His work is available on Amazon Kindle, Amazon Paperback, La Pereza Ediciones, in bookstores in the Dominican Republic such as Cuesta Libros, SDQLee, Librería Mamey and can also be ordered directly.
