After two degrees in Modern Literature and FLE, Sarah Mirkovitch devoted herself to teaching French, translation, voiceovers and conference interpreting in Barcelona (Spain). Under the watchful eye of a philosopher friend, Nelly Schnaith, she tackled a choice piece by translating Michel Serres' book The Northwest Passage into Spanish for Debate Editions (Madrid). Passionate about cinema from a young age, she trained as a screenwriter, wrote a feature film and several short films in French and Spanish, then she wrote a story in her mother tongue and sent it to the humorist philosopher, Yves Cusset, who offered to sponsor her for the Festival Off d'Avignon, as part of the Cartes Blanches. Three other stories followed for the same Festival. Then, the collection Tales from Between the Worlds was published by 999. The Mask of Silence is his first novel.
