Katya is a bilingual Russian/English writer, translator, and editor based in NYC. A recent Columbia University graduate, Katya is currently at work on her first novel about post-Soviet Russia.
As a child, Katya used to read a lot of folk tales from all over the world, so it was a natural progression for her to embrace the planet’s many art forms by founding Supamodu roughly two decades later. Katya is especially fascinated by self-taught artists and avant-garde musicians, but she’s interested in anything liminal, queer, indigenous, related to class or migration.

Book: Kickliy, Perdy, 2018
F IS FOR FRANCE Refreshing take on the Wild West theme with a woman lead who is larger than life, sex-positive and so much fun. Very entertaining, uproariously funny, but most importantly, unabashedly feminist without trying to make a statement. I'm so fed up with comics that try to craft feminist badassery and end up with two-dimensional ideology figureheads, like Bitch Planet and Curb Stomp. Having a female badass who doesn't give a damn, who subverts all the stereotypes, does not try to be a hero, and just lives on the page, is so satisfying. I want more!
