Genoveva Dimova is a fantasy author and archaeologist. Originally from Bulgaria, she now lives in Scotland with her partner and a small army of houseplants. She believes in writing what you know, so her work often features Balkan folklore, the immigrant experience, and protagonists who get into incredible messes out of pure stubbornness. When she's not writing, she likes to explore old ruins, climb even older hills, and listen to practically ancient rock music.

Genoveva Dimova recommends
The Keeper of Magical Things (2025)
Julie Leong
"The Keeper of Magical Things is a story about finding yourself and finding love in the most unexpected of places (a sleepy village called Shpelling). It has everything you can possibly want from a cosy fantasy: a fish-out-of-water main character, an icy love interest with a secret heart of gold, a tonne of outlandish magical objects, heaps of humour, and, obviously, a catdragon. A hilarious, cosy page-turner."
A Fate Unwoven (2025)
(Threads of Fate , book 1)
Rachael A Edwards
"Atmospheric, compelling, and fresh, A Fate Unwoven builds a fully original world of dangerous magic and terrifying monsters, layered characters each with their own motivation, and a gripping mystery that keeps you turning the pages. An outstanding debut."
The Book of Autumn (2025)
Molly O'Sullivan
"Ancient magic, gruesome murder, a second-chance romance to die for, and a setting so vivid, you can feel the desert air on your skin and smell the horses. The Book of Autumn is a masterclass in contemporary fantasy: suspenseful, clever, and atmospheric."
