About
Svetlana Satchkova is a Russian-American writer based in New York City. Born in the Soviet Union and raised in Moscow, she worked for many years in Russian media. Her job took her all over the world: she reported from Cannes, Venice, London, and Buenos Aires; interviewed Hollywood stars, politicians, and criminals; and wrote investigative features. She is the author of three novels in Russian, with her latest one, "Люди и птицы" (People and Birds), published by Eksmo in 2020. In 2022, she completed her MFA in Fiction at Brooklyn College, where she’d been admitted on a Truman Capote fellowship.
