Sylvia Fox

Sylvia Fox is a multi-genre Brazilian-American writer. Her work moves between the mythic and the everyday, echoing with folklore and mysticism, the weight of memory, and the ways grief lingers in the body. Sylvia was born in Oregon and moved to Texas as a child, and movement across landscapes has always been an important part of her personal mythology. She grew up listening to family stories in Portuguese and English, stories of crossings and hauntings, of the past slipping through the cracks of the present. Her work speaks to that inheritance. Sylvia holds an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and currently lives in Berlin, Germany. Her debut novella-in-verse, Little Fish, was published by Blue Cactus Press in April 2025. Her work has appeared in stadtsprachen magazin, The Acentos Review, Harpur Palate, and elsewhere.
