Teodora Gheorghe

I am a writer and a dreamer... I guess this is a good thing, although my head may sometimes be too high in the clouds. I love drawing, painting, singing, movies, literature, animals, spirituality, astrology and nature. 

I did a lot of creative writing, wrote poems, short stories (both in Romanian and in English), translated texts from English to Romanian and vice versa, cultural journalism (theater/movies/book reviews, events, interviews) and collaborated with numerous cultural magazines, as well as having texts included in anthologies: Best of Mystery and Horror - Suspense Magazine, Zeeler's Boumerang - Sci Fi Gazette Anthology.

I graduated from The University of Bucharest - the Faculty of Foreign Languages, with a Major in English literature. Two years later, I graduated from the The MA Programme for the Translation of the Contemporary Literary Text. I hold a Certificate in Advanced English, issued by the University of Cambridge. I took a course in screenwriting at the Caragiale Academy of Theatrical Arts and Cinematography.

 In 2004  I was awarded second place in the National Creative Writing competition, organized by the British Council in Romania. In 2012 I received the "Best of" Award at the National Poetry Competition "Incubatorul de condeie" ("The Pen Incubator")

My first book,  „Moartea era un iepure şchiop" ("Death was a limping rabbit")  was published in 2013 at Karth Publishing House. In 2014, it received a nomination at the „Mircea Ivănescu National Poetry Prizes". 

 My second book is in preparation.
