About
Sylvia Fox is a multi-genre Brazilian-American writer. Her work moves between the mythic and the everyday, echoing with folklore and mysticism, the weight of memory, the textures of language, and the ways grief lingers in the body. Sylvia was born in Oregon and moved to Texas as a child, and movement has always been an important part of her personal mythology. She grew up listening to family stories in Portuguese and English, stories of crossings and hauntings, of the past slipping through the cracks of the present. Her work speaks to that inheritance: the way language itself carries history, and what happens in the empty spaces of the unspoken. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and currently lives in Berlin, Germany.
Featured Work
Little Fish
In this evocative debut novella-in-verse, author Sylvia Fox crafts a hauntingly lyrical exploration of grief, trauma, and the search for self amidst a sea of memory and history. Illustrated by Irene Chin, Little Fish plunges readers into the depths of an oceanic liminal space, where Flor, the protagonist, is adrift in her sorrow and contemplation.
