Sofi Stambo

March 21, 2023

All In (Novel), Brooklyn, NY

“I hope to give voice to so many who are afraid to share their stories or prefer to continue to be invisible, because that’s all you get with no language, papers and money. Ironically exactly what you were running away from in your own country, where at least everyone speaks the language and your jokes are funny.”

Sofi Stambo won the first prize in fiction in 2015 Dzanc Books/Disquiet International literary contest and the second prize in 2016 No Tokens fiction contest. Stambo was selected by WIGLEAF for their 2016 best flash top list. One of her stories was nominated for the Pushcart Prize 2018. Sofi Stambo has a Master’s degree in Literature from Sofia University St. K. Ohridski, Bulgaria, and was a graduate student in Literature at City College, New York. Sofi Stambo had been published by Promethean, Epiphany, The Kenyon Review, The MacGuffin, The Avalon Review, New Letters, Fourteen Hills, New England Review, Stand, American Short Fiction, Guernica, Agni, Chicago Quarterly Review, Granta Bulgaria, Tin House, Another Chicago Magazine and Bellevue Literary Review.
