Saskia L
Saskia is journalist en tekstschrijver en heeft een speciale interesse voor het persoonlijke verhaal in zijn historische context. Hoe ontwikkelt een leven zich en welke rol speelt de tijdgeest daarin? Voor het Algemeen Dagblad schreef Saskia meer dan honderd afleveringen van de rubriek Van Wieg tot Graf, waarin ze nabestaanden het levensverhaal van hun dierbare liet vertellen. Haar grote interesse in geschiedenis kon ze voor die krant kwijt in de historische rubriek De Tijdreis. Saskia publiceerde twee boeken waarin het persoonlijke verhaal centraal staat. In Dordrecht, stad in oorlogstijd (2015, met co-auteur Caty Groen) komen ruim tachtig ouderen aan het woord die de Tweede Wereldoorlog meemaakten. En Dochters van Dordrecht (2020) bevat de levensverhalen van vrouwen uit de geschiedenis van Saskia’s woonplaats Dordrecht. Voor StoryTerrace schreef ze de afgelopen jaren meerdere levensverhalen en jubileumboeken. In de jubileumboeken over bedrijven of organisaties zocht Saskia ook naar persoonlijke verhalen die op de achtergrond spelen of speelden. Ze interviewde in en om Dordrecht eigenaren van oude familiebedrijven, zoals een chique herenmodezaak of de oudste zaadhandel van de stad. Ook een deurenfabrikant, een keukenboer, horecaondernemers, hoveniers, architecten, een voormalige circusbaas en vele anderen liet ze aan het woord.
