My story
Dark woods and neon-lit alleys? Complicated heroes and strange disappearances? You’ve found the right person! I’m Petra, and I have been writing – and learning to write – for most of my life.
I’m best known as the co-author of the hit audio series Criminal Cases (Kriminálne spisy) and Lights Out! (Nezhasínaj!), both of which were nominated for the Slovak Podcast of the Year Award.
I’m also a finalist of the esteemed Short Story of the Year award and an author of several theatre plays and short films screened at festivals around Europe and the USA.
