Sophie Goldstein is an award-winning graphic novelist, illustrator and comics instructor living in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She is a former faculty member in our MFA in Creative Writing program's graphic novel and comic track. Her work combines the gut-punch of pulp science fiction and body horror with the seductive power of art nouveau and pristine design — exploring moral grey areas in black and white and challenging our cultural narrative of linear progression and techno-utopianism. Her books include House of Women and The Oven. Learn more about Sophie on her website, Red Ink Radio(link is external), Instagram(link is external), and Twitter(link is external).
