Walter H
Walter (1965) is een selfmade tekstschrijver. Heeft door de jaren heen een passie ontwikkeld voor mensen die in armoede leven. In Nederland en daarbuiten. Hij schrijft altijd met het doel om mensen in beweging te brengen om ook daadwerkelijk iets te gaan 'doen'. Om ze te inspireren om met zichzelf en/of een ander aan de slag te gaan. Hij is christen en denkt niet in hokjes of vakjes. In het dagelijkse leven is hij actief als zelfstandig tekstschrijver en freelance journalist. Een zzp-er dus, met alle mooie en minder mooie kanten die daar bij horen.

Lisa D S
Lisa has always loved stories. Listening to stories, telling stories and creating stories, so it’s no wonder she works as a journalist and writer of memoirs. Everyone has a story inside of them and Lisa enjoys nothing more than hearing about the life experiences and anecdotes of others. A published author, when she’s not writing, Lisa can be found either reading or playing poker – but that’s another story.
