Gerda Blees
Gerda Blees is a writer, poet and a visual artist. Her debut novel We Are Light (Wij Zijn Licht, 2020) was nominated for the Libris Literature Prize and won the Dutch Booksellers Prize, the European Union Prize for Literature and the Premio Salerno Libro d’Europa.
Gerda asked me to help her prepare her second novel - negotiating a book deal with a new publisher, putting forward a strategy and overseeing the campaign.
