Gustavo Rodríguez Vela (born 2 May 1968) is a Peruvian writer and communication expert, author of several novels and story books.

It tells the story of four young people traveling from a small town to Lima to study, start a career and live together, and where they experience enmity, jealousy, insecurity and chaos of a big city.

"La semana tiene siete mujeres" ("The week has seven women") (2010) tells a story of infidelity and racism in a city like Lima: a white man born to a "good family" and impoverished economically will have to investigate the love of a half-caste who traveled the opposite way to enrichment and celebrity, a half-caste who also took the love of his life.

This novel involuntarily generated a huge controversy after the writer Iván Thays wrote an article on his blog at El País and received attacks for criticizing Peruvian cuisine.

"I wrote you tomorrow" (2016) is a novel for all those who are still young at heart and tells the story of a teenager who starts receiving strange letters under his pillow.

They seem to be arriving from the future, and they will accompany him throughout an important period of his life: the one when he’ll live his first love, the complexities of his family (as of any other) and the first big wound.

He has been a columnist for the El Comercio of Lima, contributor to the magazine Etiqueta Negra and co-founder, along with the writer Javier Arevalo, of the Recreo Project, which seeks to bring reading awareness benefits to the schools of Peru.

Spain's newspaper El País described it as a mix of the best novels from Guillermo Cabrera Infante and Mario Vargas Llosa.
