Miriam Lucia: From writing competition to publication
Fellow and author Miriam Lucia explains what participating in writing competitions can lead to. Several short stories have been published in short story collections. At the end of October 2020, his winning thriller novel ‘David and Sara’ appeared in the 4 in 1 book ‘Black Snow’, at Godijn Publishing. In March 2022 she solidified her name with “The Necklace”, from the writing contest with the theme “Fatal Encounter”. By the end of the year she was allowed to sign another songwriter’s contract. The launch of ‘The Corpse in the Library’ followed last September. This cute detective is the first part of a series starring the librarian Ilona Wachters.
Where and how do you prefer to write and where does Miriam find inspiration? Come and tell her about her adventures as a writer. Maybe you want a (fictional) role in a later part?

Give or give away: Comic book writing workshop
Soon we will have a super cool workshop for all young people who love comics and for those who don’t know yet.
Esther Holtkamp has been editor of Donald Duck Weekblad for years and explains how a comic is made in Donald Duck and how a comic can also be made. For example, do you have to be very good at drawing to make a comic? (Answer: no!)
Of course, you’ll also start creating your own comic. We are curious about the results!
