'''Daniel Mella''' (born Montevideo, 1976) is a Uruguayan writer.
He published his first novel ''Pogo'' in 1997 at the age of 21, followed by two more novels in quick succession. He then took a decade-long break from writing, returning with the short story collection ''Lava'' which won the Bartolomé Hidalgo Award in 2013. His next book, the novel ''El Hermano Mayor'' was based on the death of his younger brother Alejandro in 2014. This too won the Bartolomé Hidalgo Award and has been translated into English by Charco Press.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://silviabastos.com/our-authors/daniel-mella/?lang=en |title=Bio 1 |access-date=2018-11-14 |archive-date=2018-11-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181114231117/http://silviabastos.com/our-authors/daniel-mella/?lang=en |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.edbookfest.co.uk/writers/daniel-mella-6929 |author=edbook|title= Bio |location= United Kingdom}}</ref> ==Works== *1997, Pongo *1998, Derretimiento *2000, Noviembre *2013, Lava *2016, El hermano mayor *2020, Visiones para Emma *2024, Yo quiero a mi bandera
