About
I was born in Lubny, Ukraine, and raised in Brooklyn, New York. My writing has been generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, UNESCO Arts Foundation, and the Elizabeth George Foundation, among others. I’ve received scholarships & fellowships from the Can Sarrat Writing Residency, the Laimun Artists’ Residency, and the Sewanee Writers’ Conference, among others. I completed my MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan’s Helen Zell Writers’ Program and prior to that, worked in film and TV for a decade.
Currently, I am revising a novel and working on a collection of essays.
