I hope this writing residency will open new lines of writing, give me new threads to pull, a few fertile translations and a solid seam to stand the test of the months that will follow. Threads that bind and guide the research and writing to come.
Sophie d’Aubreby was born in 1988 in Brussels, raised in France, and she is a writer. Her debut novel S'en aller (Inculte, 2021) followed the short story Déplier les jambes (Lamiroy, 2020), and her prose piece Je me loge dans ma propre nuque will be published in the Haitian literary magazine DO KRE I S in September 2025. She is currently finalizing a second novel exploring themes of loss, as well as a collection of short stories written by inmates during a residency at Aiton prison (France), in partnership with the association Lectures Plurielles. Her work also includes numerous short stories published in literary magazines or recorded in audio format. Since 2023, excerpts from S'en aller have been adapted into a sound and visual performance by the CCAS cultural program, touring its centers before a residency and performance in 2024 at Maison Poème in Brussels.
