About the author

Marcia Cebulska is an American novelist, playwright, and screenwriter. Although she spent most of her childhood living behind her parents’ Polish bakery in a Chicago working-class neighborhood, she always had a yen for travel and exotic foods. These early interests are evident in her recent novel, Watching Men Dance. Before she turned her hand to fiction, she enjoyed a decades-long career writing for the stage and screen. Her critically acclaimed plays have been performed at thousands of venues worldwide and her screenwriting has aired on PBS. Cebulska has received the Dorothy Silver Award, the Jane Chambers International Award, several Master Artist Fellowships. Thematically, Cebulska’s work has often reflected social justice issues such as women’s rights, gay rights, race relations, domestic violence, and homelessness. The recipient of many commissions, she wrote Now Let Me Fly for the national celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board decision. She has been writer-in-residence at The University of Georgia, Mary Anderson Center for the Arts, Marion College, and The William Inge Center for the Arts. Her non-fiction book Skywriting, a journaling guide, was published in 2019. Her novel Watching Men Dance, about the relationship between a female photographer who loves travel and adventure and a Native American dancer who will not fly, was released in September of 2020. Marcia has lived in Chicago, New York, Santa Cruz, Seattle, Miami, London, Copenhagen, Athens, and on the Greek island of Crete, but now resides in Topeka, Kansas with her husband, historian Tom Prasch. She has one daughter, Inge Hansen,(co-author of The Ethical Sell-out) and one grandson, Judah Hansen.
