We’re proud to introduce our favorite creators.
We don’t use the word “writers” in the title, because not all of our favorite authors are devoted to literature.
Irina Ivanova is a city girl who grew up in the forest. She collects moments, contrasts, scents, and colorful splashes. She makes parties, trainings, and sometimes sugar‑free cakes. When she loses patience, she goes searching for words – but still hasn’t found the ones that can tame her wildness.
Mother of five… and still wants more!
At our first literary event, we read her poems (in Bulgarian).
Readers know Marin Troshanov for the supernatural LAMIA Ltd. trilogy, the adventures of Robot Chapek, Emmy and the Shadow Thief, and a list of anthologies where his voice leaves its quiet, unmistakable trace. He turns the uneasy corners of our imagination into stories that shine from within.
He walks lightly through the shifting borderlands between technology and magic — honored with awards such as The Feather (Перото) and Konstantin Konstantinov, a familiar and welcome presence in schools and libraries across the country, and an active figure in Bulgaria’s IT circles.
He loves to share, to be sparked by new ideas, to kindle the small fires from which entire universes might one day rise. And most of all, he treasures the moment when one of his stories slips free of him… and becomes ours.
Anna A. Shindarova was born in 1985 in Sofia. She graduated from the 125th Secondary School with a concentration in German, later continuing her studies in International Economic Relations at UNWE. She holds master’s degrees in “Media and Communications” (Sofia University and Viadrina Frankfurt) and “German Philology” (Sofia University). Over the years, she has worked in various international companies and, since 2021, has been serving in a managerial role.
In her youth, Ani won numerous competitions and academic olympiads, yet after university life swept her into its familiar rhythms—work, family, responsibility—and the writing that once defined her fell silent for a time.
In 2023 she found her way back to literature, creating her blog ProStranstvo, a digital nook that soon gathered several thousand readers. There, day after day, she shares stories, moments, poems—small fragments of the world refracted through her voice. Her article about the Museum of Paleontology, later published in Dnevnik, became one of her most widely read works.
In 2025 Anna released her debut book, a short story collection titled Rainbow, published in a boutique edition of 300 copies. The warmly enthusiastic response to the collection offered the young author both validation and momentum to continue writing.
Anna is fluent in English, German, and French. She is married and the mother of two children.
Vanya Dimitrova is a passionate reader and poet for whom words are a bridge to new worlds. She loves books that provoke thought and inspire conversation, because she believes in the power of shared ideas. For her, poetry is a way to capture moments and transform emotions into imagery.
At our first literary event, we read her poems (in Bulgarian).
Vladimir Alexandrov is a Lean Six Sigma expert who has successfully applied process‑optimization principles to his own physical transformation.
Where others see an ordinary statistic, he sees the number 151 as a top‑class systemic defect in the category of “Helplessness.” He arrives at this insight through meticulous identification of daily “wastes” and uncompromising quality control over his own biological software.
A series of physical achievements demonstrates the power of his methodology:
- 160 floors climbed as part of his structured training regimen;
- A 5 km run—a personal test of endurance and willpower;
- 700+ meters of elevation gain in the mountains, which he calls his greatest teacher.
In his upcoming book, 151: The Brutal Path to Change, he shares his algorithm for transformation—built on iron discipline and the relentless removal of the unnecessary, from excess weight to excuses. It is compelling proof that when the data is accurate and the will is unbreakable, results become inevitable.
