Stories about love, change and the courage to begin again.
I’m Nadi Petrova, author of the Life Happens trilogy. I write contemporary fiction with autobiographical elements: intimate stories of family, difficult choices, reinvention and the slightly absurd moments life tends to include.
This page is for publishing professionals who would like a clear starting point. My books are available to readers in Russian and English. Please contact me directly to discuss publication history, review material, editions and any rights enquiries; no rights availability is implied by the presence of this page.

Writing and publishing journal
My experience seeking literary representation, notes on a submission package and tools I use for manuscript preparation explain how these books were made without pretending that publishing is simple.
Where writers can submit books by genre and how agents and publishers are adapting to AI.
