Sara Raztresen is a Slovenian-American author dealing in the surreal--from magical realism to high fantasy, with a little dusting of magical topics in her nonfiction, as well. Themes of religion, romance, and the horrors of everyday life especially interest her, and she believes genre lines were meant to be bent and broken. She draws on the culture and folklore of her heritage and reimagines them in her works.
She's a graduate of the Popular Fiction and Publishing in Emerson's MFA program (Class of 2020), and her published works include "The Gray Mile" in Waxing & Waning: A Literary Magazine, "Čarovnica" in The Paragon Echo: A Journal of Literary Nonfiction, several short works in Rhode Island College's Shoreline, and her first novel, Quarantined, which she published as a high school graduation project.
