Maria Del Socorro Tellado López was born on April 25, 1927. Her mother was a housewife and her father was a naval mechanic in the Merchant Navy. She was the only girl of five siblings. Tellado experienced childhood in an angling town in the Asturias area on Spain's northern coast.
She was taught at a Catholic school and read insatiably as a tyke. It was from her school days she started gaining interest in reading and writing. According to one of her interviews, she stated that she had read a lot of books during her early school days.
When one of her four siblings composed a novel, she felt it was impossible and created one herself at 18 years old. The nearby book retailer proposed she send it to the distributers Bruguera in Barcelona. They started publishing with the book, Daring Bet (Atrevida Apuesta), and offered her an agreement to convey a novel every week which has atleast 76 pages. She continued to do this till Bruguera's breakdown in 1985 discharged her from the agreement's draconian terms: in 1973 she lost a claim brought by Bruguera against her after she declined to sign contract augmentations.
Tellado considered herself to be an author of realist books about the troubles of life and adoration. Her stories were not about rulers becoming hopelessly enamored with Cinderella, it was about conventional ladies living in contemporary Spain. Her prominence is because of this realist perspective; however the books did not hence quit being writing of avoidance. The class requested a glad closure. In an early novel, Tellado left her champion visually impaired. The Bruguera proofreader sent back the typescript, requesting: "Give her an operation." Corín went along and the novel was properly distributed.
In 1951 she started working with the Vanidades Magazine after signing a contract of producing two short novels every month.
She travelled all the way to Gijon, in Spain, just to give an interview about her writings.
She was broadly perused all through Latin America and, from the 1960s, she additionally distributed fortnightly photograph books: picture books with content in air pockets. Her Corín Ilustrada sold 750,000 a week at its top. In the late 1970s, with control abrogated, she handled harder subjects, for example, premature birth and assault. She communicated strongly women's activist perspectives. She likewise distributed 26 sexual books under the name Ada Miller.
She also published some children's books in collaboration with Jesús Zantón Santiago, and her favorite novel was Lucha Oculta (1991), her first long work.
She died on April 11, 2009, in her home as a result of a stroke. She left three unpublished novels. Her novels continue to be reedited in digital format.
She published more than 5,000 titles and sold more than 400 million books which have been translated into several languages. She was listed in the 1994 Guinness World Records as having sold the most books written in Spanish, and earlier in 1962 UNESCO declared her the most read Spanish writer after Miguel de Cervantes.
Her novels were different from other contemporary Western European romantic writers' works because she usually set them in the present and didn't use eroticism, due to the Spanish regime's strict censorship. Her style was direct and her characters were simply presented. These novels have inspired several telenovelas.
She was not involved in politics but did her part on helping and working for women's rights.
Quotations:
"With respect to my style, it was control that directed it. A few books returned with so highly underlined content that whatever you could see was dark. They taught me to imply, to recommend more than to appear."
"I was burnt out on fixations, of desire assaults and, the greater part of all, of living with somebody who I would not like to live with."
Corín Tellado had an incredible ability for imagination and self expression. She was witty, had a present for chatter, and appreciated the spotlight.
Responsibility, fixation and diligent work were the main method for delivering her ability.
