Filip Hajdar Drnovšek Zorko is a Slovenian-born writer and translator. He grew up in Slovenia, Ireland, Australia, and the UK, and currently resides just outside Portland, Maine. He understands that his name is a bit confusing and would like you to know that “Drnovšek Zorko” is the surname. He attended Clarion West in 2019, and his work has previously appeared or is forthcoming in Clarkesworld, Lightspeed, and Escape Pod. In his spare time he is a keen quizzer—British listeners may recognise him from that one time he was on University Challenge.
