                            Introduction
======================================================================
Sara Nović (born 1987) is an American writer, translator, and creative
writing professor. Nović is also a deaf rights' activist who has
written about the challenges she has faced as a deaf novelist.

Nović is most notable for her debut novel, 'Girl at War', which tells
the story of Ana Jurić, a ten-year-old girl whose life is upended by
the civil war that resulted in the dissolution of Yugoslavia. The
novel was an Alex Awards recipient in 2016. In 2014, Nović was awarded
an ALTA Travel Fellowship by the American Literary Translators
Association. In addition to publishing her own literary works, Nović
has translated poems written by Izet Sarajlić, a renowned Bosnian
writer. Nović was awarded the Willis Barnstone Translation Prize in
2013 for her translation of Sarajlić's poem "After I Was Wounded." She
is also a recipient of the Alex Awards.

Nović's second book 'True Biz' was released in 2022. The book follows
Charlie to River Valley School for the Deaf as she deals with a faulty
cochlear implant and meets other deaf people for the first time in her
life. The book was chosen as a pick for Reese Witherspoon's book club
and was reviewed as "moving, fast-paced and spirited -- we have vivid
access to all of the main characters' points of view -- but also
skillfully educational" by 'The New York Times'.

Nović is a graduate of the MFA program at Columbia University, where
she studied fiction and literary translation. She is a fiction editor
at 'Blunderbuss Magazine' and serves as the founding editor of the
deaf rights' blog 'Redeafined'. Nović also works as an assistant
professor of creative writing at Stockton University.
