I love literature, even if fiction books are not the type of text I personally love to write. Still I am very passionate about books, there is no day I don’t read and literature is one of the main gates to art itself in my opinion. I am actively engaged in cultural politics as the president of the German writer guild / Verband Deutscher SchriftstellerInnen. Organizing as well as moderating public readings and publishing anthologies about socially relevant topics are others tasks I take care of.
