Frosina Parmakovska rođena je u Skopju 1985. godine. Diplomirala je na Filološkom fakultetu, Odsjek za opću i komparativnu književnost. Magistrirala je na Institutu za makedonsku književnost na temu “Varijacije magičnog realizma u svjetskom i makedonskom romanu”. Članica je Duštva pisaca Makedonije (DPM) od februara 2018. godine.

Parmakovska je dobitnica brojnih priznanja, među kojima se ističe nagrada za Roman godine 2017. za djelo Odbrojavanje, dok je njen raniji roman Višnjina kronika 2014. bio finalist za isto priznanje. Godinu dana kasnije, 2018., osvojila je i nagradu za najuspješnijeg autora između dva sajma knjiga, koju dodjeljuje MAI. Najnovije priznanje stiglo je 2024., kada je za roman Još uvijek mogu nešto učiniti nagrađena Racinovim priznanjem, a isti roman bio je i finalist za Roman godine.
U Sarajevu radi na svom najnovijem romanu koji kroz duboke psihološke uvide ispituje ulogu pojedinca u svijetu, u stvarnosti kao složenom skupu događaja koji nisu slučajni, već su lančano povezani, posljedični. U tom smislu, pozicionirajući krivnju kao lančanu kategoriju, roman problematizira suvremena pitanja u makedonskom društvu, posebno odnose između osobne i kolektivne traume, njihove prošlosti, nužnosti okončavanja ciklusa kroz suočavanje, prepoznavanje, te pokajanje i oprost.
Frosina Parmakovska was born in Skopje, 1985. She graduated from the Faculty of Philology, Department of General and Comparative Literature. She received her MA from the Institute of Macedonian Literature, on the topic “Variations of Magical Realism in the World and Macedonian Novel”. She has been a member of the Writers’ Association of Macedonia since February 2018.
Parmakovska has received numerous awards, most notably Novel of the Year 2017 for the novel Countdown. Her earlier novel The Sour Cherry Chronicle was a finalist for the same award in 2014. A year later, in 2018, she won the award for the most successful author between two book fairs, awarded by MAI. The most recent recognition came in 2024, when she was awarded the Racin Award for her novel I Can Still Do Something. The same novel was also a finalist for Novel of the Year.
In Sarajevo, she is working on her latest novel, which, through deep psychological insights, examines the role of the individual in the world, in reality as a complex set of events that are not random, but are chained, consequential. In that sense, by positioning guilt as a chain category, the novel problematizes contemporary issues in the Macedonian society, especially the relationships between personal and collective trauma, their past, the necessity of completing the cycle through confrontation, recognition, repentance and forgiveness.
