This past weekend, Professor Tamara J. Popov's Master's of Short Story class at the UACS School of Foreign Languages hosted a truly exceptional event! We were honored to welcome back two of our successful alumnae and now celebrated published authors: Ana Arsovska and Jovana Matevska Atanasova.

They joined our graduate students for an engaging workshop, sharing invaluable insights into their writers' processes and creative journeys. The session wasn't just a talk—it was a hands-on experience! Ana and Jovana promoted their short stories through dynamic and interactive activities, giving our students a real-world look at the art of storytelling and the path to becoming a published author.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our current students to learn directly from those who have successfully navigated the literary world. A huge thank you to Ana Arsovska and Jovana Matevska Atanasova for their time, inspiration, and wonderful work!
