Stephanie Newman’s writing has been published in Bookforum, Literary Hub, Hyperallergic, the Harvard Review, and elsewhere. Her work was also included in the anthology Millennial Feminism at Work (Cornell Press, 2021).
Newman was a Fulbright Hungary Scholar in 2023-24, a 2023 recipient of the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture Fellowship, and a Global Research Initiative Fellow at NYU Prague in 2022. Her recent series of booklets, called Mapping Jewish Hungarian Literature, is available in bookstores throughout Budapest. Having split the last decade between New York City and Central Europe, Newman now resides in Connecticut. She holds an M.F.A. in fiction from NYU and a B.A. in English from Harvard.
At MacDowell, Newman revised her first novel, which she started writing after learning that her grandma—a Hungarian Holocaust survivor—left behind a firstborn son after the war.
