In 1984 he received Ecuador's National Prize for Literature, the "Aurelio Espinosa Pólit" prize, for his work entitled "Parajes". In February 2013 he won the Premio a las Libertades Juan Montalvo.[1]

Carvajal lives in Quito, Ecuador, and works as a Professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador.[1] He directs País Secreto magazine and is project director of Corporación Cultural Orogenia.
