Márta Várnagy

I graduated from the JATE Law Faculty in Szeged, worked as a lawyer for a long time, then completed the Master’s course in fiction writing and editing at the Hungarian Academy of Writers, and the Master’s course in writing at the Metropolitan University, and currently work as an editor.

I live in Budapest and in a small village in Nógrád, Bér. Since 2004 my short stories, poems, essays and other writings have been published in literary journals (Tiszatáj, Tekintet, Új Forrás, Parnasszus, Irodalmi Jelen, Librarius, Országút, Palócföld, Ambrózia, Napút, Magyar Napló, Életünk, Liget Műhely, Kapocs, Aracs, Holdkatlan, ÚjNautílus, Szőrös Kő) and anthologies. The afterword to my book published for the 2021 book week, Kapuzábé, was written by Lóránt Kabdebó, who recently passed away.

This time I’m putting together a poetry collection, and again I’m working on a novel project that involves a lot of research. I am a member of the Hungarian P.E.N. Club since 2021.
