IWP Fall Residency: On the Map

Noa Suzanna MORAG נועה סוזנה מורג (fiction writer, editor; Israel) debuted in 2016 with the novel [User Experience], for which she received the Minister of Culture’s Hebrew Literature prize in the Young Authors category. Since then, she has been working as an editor while publishing stories in the daily Ha’aretz, the Oh!’ Magazine, on ‘The Short Story Project’ website and elsewhere. In 2021 she took part in the Mishkenot Sha’ananim’ residency for emerging writers. Her participation is courtesy of Fulbright Israel.

"On the Map" is a series of interviews with writers while they are in Iowa City, participating in the IWP’s fall residency, produced in association with the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa. This video was made possible by a grant from the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.
