As a prominent Canadian short story writer, she has distinguished herself through her innovative and unexpected narrative style.

  Her academic career at McGill University, where she studied Art history and German, laid the foundations for her artistic exploration. 

Continuing her studies at the University of Toronto, she immersed herself in the richness of English literature, nurturing her imagination and honing her critical eye on literary forms of expression.

Grudova’s first steps into the literary world were modest but promising.

Her short stories were published in renowned journals such as The White Review and Granta.

 In 2017, she made a notable entry into the publishing world with the publication of her first collection of short stories, The Doll’s Alphabet, published by Fitzcarraldo Editions in the UK. 

Praised for her creativity and captivating style, this collection confirmed Grudova’s singular talent.

In 2023, her nomination to Granta’s Best New British Novelists list reinforced her reputation as a leading emerging author. 

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, she continues to explore new literary forms.

 Her varied academic background and distinct literary sensibility are reflected in her work, which pushes the boundaries of contemporary narrative and explores the themes of the modern world.
