Born in Montero, Santa Cruz, Rivero was awarded the Santa Cruz Municipal Prize for Literature in 1997 for her short story collection Las bestias (The beasts).[3] In 2005, she received the Franz Tamayo Short Story Prize for La Dueña de nuestros sueños (The owner of our dreams).[4] In 2004, she took part in the Iowa Writing Program at the University of Iowa and in 2006 she was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship which allowed her to obtain a master's degree in Latin-American literature from the University of Florida.[2] She went on to receive a doctorate from the same university in 2014.[5] In 2011, she was one of the 25 new Latin-American talents chosen by Mexico's Guadalajara Book Fair.[6]
Commenting on her latest novel, 98 segundos sin sombra (98 seconds with no shadow), Fernando Iwasaki of El Mercurio comments: "Giovanna Rivero writes good prose, able to create powerful characters. With [this work] she has added her name to the book of Latin-American literature."[7] The novel has been published by the Spanish publishing house Caballo de Troya, contributing to Rivero's growing international success.[8]
In addition to writing novels and short stories, Rivero is a regular contributor to local and national newspapers.[4] She also teaches semiotics and journalism at the Univeridad Privada de Santa Cruz de la Sierra.[3]
