Biography
[edit]Johanna Sebauer was born in Vienna in 1988,[1][2] the daughter of publisher Vera Sebauer (1954–2015)[3] and journalist Wolfgang Weisgram.[4][5] She grew up in Burgenland, studied political science at the University of Vienna and then journalism in Aarhus in Denmark, in Santiago, Chile and in Hamburg, where she moved in 2013.[1][2]
In 2014, Sebauer was awarded the Burgenland Youth Literature Prize for her short story Edina on the subject of 25 years since the fall of the Iron Curtain.[6] In 2023 she published the novel Nincshof with DuMont Buchverlag about the eponymous fictional village in Burgenland near the Hungarian border. The name of the place is derived from the Hungarian term nincs, meaning nothing or none.[7][8] For her debut novel, she was awarded the debut prize of the Harbour Front Literature Festival 2023, endowed with 10,000 euros.[9][10] In 2019, she was awarded the Burgenland Literature Prize for a first version of the novel.[11]
Sebauer works in science communication, is a member of the Hamburg writers' room and part of the Zinnober reading stage in the Zinnschmelze Barmbek.[2]
At the invitation of Klaus Kastberger, she read her text Das Gurkerl at the competition for the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize 2024, for which she was awarded the 3sat Prize, the BKS Bank Audience Prize and the City of Klagenfurt Writer's Scholarship.[12][13]
