bio

Grace Valaskovic was born and raised in the lovely town of Cambridge, Mass, where she developed a love of reading in the public school system. As a senior at Northwestern University, she studies Theatre and Creative Writing, with concentrations in fiction, playwriting, and musical theatre composition. Grace lives in Evanston, IL, with her super-cool roommates.

Valaskovic is pronounced "vuh-lask-oh-vick," but if you don't want to deal with all that, she will always respond to "Grace V" or sometimes even "hey you!"

As a high schooler, Grace received full funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council to produce her first play. In college Grace has received Northwestern's Mary Kinzie Prize for Creative Nonfiction for her essay "What Makes Up a Woman," as well as an Undergraduate Research Grant.
