Academic Biography:

Sophie Nunberg is a French-American writer, raised in San Francisco, California. She graduated with a degree in English from the University of Chicago and has pinged across the coasts of the United States, living in Boston, Chicago, Brooklyn and Greensboro, North Carolina.

In 2021, she received her MFA in Creative Writing from University of North Carolina, Greensboro, where she was a recipient of the Anna Wooten-Hawkins graduate award.

In the fall of 2022, she began her doctoral studies in Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. She currently serves as a faculty advisor for the undergraduate magazine, Furrow and a creative non-fiction editor for Cream City Review.

She is working on her first novel, a bildungsroman that takes place in Paris, during the summer of 2017.

Interests:

Sophie is passionate about the Internet, raised online—an early adopter of nearly every social media platform dating back to IRC, she can often be found waxing her thoughts on Instagram or making content on TikTok for her 40,000 followers.

When she is not talking about layers of understanding in meme culture (or sharing pictures of her dog, Jacques), you’ll find her sharing about her own interests in modernist literature and artwork, modern translation forms and the intersection of self in social media.
