Denisa Dobrovodová is a screenwriter, fiction writer and playwright from Bratislava, Slovakia. She wrote her debut novel, You Can’t Choose Your Family, at the age of twelve and saw it published in Slovakia in 2014. Before completing her MA in Art History and Film Studies at the University of St Andrews, she worked as a full-time journalist at Aktuality.sk. Her work blurs the line between drama and comedy and explores the complexities of the human psyche and intrapersonal relationships.

Denisa is currently completing an MSt in Creative Writing at the University of Oxford and working on a television drama, The Bubble, which follows a young Slovak who gets seduced by the secret world of decadent luxury at a prestigious British university and becomes determined to enter at any cost.
