SARAH CIPULLO

I'm an exophonic writer - I practice creative writing in a language, English, that is not my mother tongue, my spoken skills aren’t comparable to my writing ones, and I often don’t understand the words of the songs I listen to. All in all, I feel very monolingual.

 

I started writing when I was six and only in late 2021, I began publishing stories in English and Italian – my native language. In 2022, I was selected as a finalist for the InediTO Prize in Italy and in 2023, I published 98 words for the New York Times.

 

Last year, it was 2024, I was selected by Granta to start writing my debut book, which I don’t know if I’ll publish, but I'm currently working on.
