Prozu je objavljivala i na BBC radiju. Piše i poeziju koja je 2012. uvrštena u antologiju Salt's Best British Poetry. Urednica je časopisa Leopardskin & Limes i suosnivačica programa Queer Stories Berlin. Pjeva i svira violončelo u punk-bendu Razor Cunts koji je osnovala zajedno s Ambikom Thompson, gošćom ZiN-a u svibnju ove godine.
Siniša Stojanović dolazi nam iz Beograda. Pjesnik je i prozaik mlađe generacije (rođen 1981.), glazbenik koji je kao bubnjar svirao u četrdeset autorskih bendova, voditelj klupskih događanja, radio-voditelj, glazbeni producent, urednik. Do sada je objavio tri zbirke pjesama, a zapažen kritički uspjeh postiže prošle godine prvom knjigom proze naslova„Beogradska bilježnica“ (2016.). Riječ je fragmentiranim filozofsko-estetskim zapisima beogradske svakodnevice koju bilježi pripovjedač-svjedok dok se vozi u gradskim autobusima. Ulomke iz knjige Siniša će čitati na književnoj večeri u Ližnjanu.
Benedek Totth rođen je 1977. u mađarskom Kaposváru te je književnu karijeru gradio prevođenjem djela poznatih imena engleske i američke književnosti kao što su: Cormac McCarthy, Aldous Huxley, Chuck Palahniuk and Hunter S. Thompson. Svoj prvi roman naslova „Holtverseny“ Benedek je objavio 2014. pri vodećoj mađarskoj nakladničkoj kući Magvető Kiadó. Upravo mu je njegov prvijenac donio nagradu Margó za najbolji debitantski roman u Mađarskoj te godine. Roman se prevodi na engleski, francuski i slovački jezik.
Svi autori u Ližnjanu rade na svojim novim rukopisima, a o tome kao i o njihovim literarnim i životnim preokupacijama razgovarat ćemo na književnoj večeri u Ližnjanu u utorak 8.08. u 8h. Vidimo se!
