Susanne Stich grew up in Nürnberg and has lived in the Northwest of Ireland for many years. She has worked in the arts and educational sector as a lecturer, curator and facilitator, and is currently Literary Guide for the Reading Rooms programme at Verbal Arts Centre, Derry, where she curates literature - short stories and poetry mostly - for shared reading sessions in the community, promoting dialogue and wellbeing. She holds an MA in English Literature and Film Studies from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen, and a PhD with creative practice from Ulster University, Belfast looking into 'Visibilities of Childhood in Moving Image'.
Susanne’s creative work has involved writing, film-making and photography, but in recent years she has concentrated solely on writing fiction. Her writing has appeared in The Stinging Fly, Ambit, Bath Flash Fiction, TSS Publishing and many other magazines. In 2018 she was a finalist at the Irish Novel Fair and received a bursary award from the Irish Arts Council to work on her debut novel.
