Hannah Oppolzer receives Litlab scholarship: writing talent of the future!

Hannah Oppolzer is this year's winner of the Litlab scholarship 2024/25, which is awarded by the Literary Center in Göttingen and the Lower Saxony Foundation. This scholarship enables the talented author to work intensively on her literary projects for three months and gives her the freedom to fully concentrate on writing.

With the words “Poetize the world, explore the limits on paper, do not master language, but to design”, Oppolzer describes her approach to writing. The author, born in 1999, found that the letter is a central part of her life at a young age. At the age of 13 she started working on a dystopian trilogy and later studied German studies in Vienna. She is currently deepening her knowledge in the master's program for literary writing and editing at the Hildesheim Literature Institute. Her debut novel "missed", which was published by Braumüller Verlag in 2023, was very well received in the literary scene.

This approach allows her to examine unconventional ways of thinking and to let the boundaries between reality, imagination and memory blur. In addition, she is passionate about the fantastic and dystopian in her writer.

Your success continues with two residence grants in Italy in 2023. In November she will also be presented with the recognition award for literature in her hometown Baden.
