She is a founding editor of The Buenos Aires Review, a bilingual journal featuring contemporary literature in the Americas.

Her bestselling first novel, Savage Theories (Las teorías salvajes, 2008), has been translated in French, Dutch, Finnish, Italian and Portuguese.

[5] Savage Theories provoked critical and cultural controversy upon its release, with its subject matter and Oloixarac's public image coming under scrutiny.
