Gijs vd L
Na een decennium docentschap (Aardrijkskunde), volgde Gijs in 2018 een lang gekoesterde droom: een autobiografische roman schrijven over de eerste jaren van een betekenisvolle vriend(schap), spelend in zijn studententijd (2002 – 2004). Geleidelijk werd duidelijk dat hij zou blijven schrijven, bij mooi weer en het liefst in de buitenlucht, zoals op de Franse camping. Hiernaast is hij geboeid door de mens en “het bestaan”, waarin hij zich intussen ook uitgebreid verdiept heeft. In het schrijven van levensverhalen van anderen komen beide samen. Hij gelooft dat velen eigenlijk een mooi boek verdienen.

Fiona B
Fiona’s passion for words was born in childhood, as she made up bedtime stories to help her brother sleep – though sometimes they kept him awake instead! She has a Master’s degree in English, and spent years honing her skills as a copywriter, then as creative director, at top international advertising agencies like BBDO, Young & Rubicam, and Ogilvy & Mather. Since moving to the UK from South Africa in 2019 (and staying at home like the rest of the world), she has rediscovered the art of storytelling purely for the love of it.

Linda van 't L
Ghostwriter, tekstschrijver en copywriter. Dat is Linda. Als afgestudeerd Neerlandicus helpt ze vanuit haar kantoor in het buitengebied tussen de Veluwe en de IJssel ondernemers, redacties, bureaus, merken en bedrijven om hun verhaal zo mooi, aansprekend en eerlijk mogelijk te vertellen. Als het eenmaal op papier staat, gaat ze het liefst naar buiten. De tuin in, met haar hond op stap, door de bossen dwalen. Vaak komen er dan vanzelf al nieuwe verhalen bovendrijven!

Isobel I
Being banned as a pre-teen from the hysteria of a Bay City Rollers concert was pivotal for Isobel’s journalistic career in teen mags, then national women’s titles, before sidestepping into sports writing and an action-packed decade as international rugby media manager. Now extending her editorial reach into travel and the arts – alongside passions for her voluntary communications role with football’s Homeless World Cup and researching her family history – one common thread runs throughout: she just loves listening to people.
