In 2019, I was lucky enough to participate in the Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs mentorship program to take residence at The Reader, a Berlin-based organization that produces writing workshops, author services, and events like the short prose competition known as the Berlin Writing Prize.
In collaboration with founder and mentor Victoria Gosling, I co-edited the anthology of winning entries of the 2019 Berlin Writing Prize, published in partnership with KLAK Verlag in January 2020. The book collects twelve shortlisted stories on the annual theme of “The Circus,” selected (from 350 entries) by judges Sophie Mackintosh, May-Lan Tan, Elnathan John, Martin Jankowski, Katrin Schönig and Victoria Gosling.
The anthology is available to purchase from KLAK Verlag. You can also take a sneak peek of the entries here.
