Marzena Sowa is a Polish graphic novelist living in France. She was born in 1979, in a small industrial city, Stalowa Wola (Poland). She left her country in 2001 and settled in Bordeaux. Since 2006, she has lived partly in France, in a small village in Champagne, and partly in Belgium (Brussels). In collaboration with Sylvain Savoia, she published one comic book series Marzi which tells the story of her childhood in the communist Poland. The book has been translated in several languages, including English. Her new graphic novel, N'embrassez pas qui vous voulez, was recently released in France and Poland.

She loves dictionaries, even of the languages she doesn't speak. She is afraid of spiders and crazy about skateboarding and cheesecakes.
