Nelly Slim

Nelly Slim is an author, performer, and therapist. Published in 2025, her first novel, *Between Here and Before There Is the Sea*, explores the themes of migration and uprooting. It was awarded the Gouincourt Prize for Lesbian Literature. She is also co-author of the collection *It’s Been Lovely but I Have to Scream Now*—an anthology of a queer and feminist fanzine—and served on the editorial board of the decolonial journal *Comme nous brûlons*. Her writing also appears in short-form pieces published in magazines such as *Censored*, *Woman Journal*, and *Foehn*. Her performances extend her artistic practice with a focus on ritualistic practices.
