About me

"Once upon a time" - Su Blackwell
I love stories! To read, to write, to tell: I have never enough!

I read a lot of everything, in any of the languages I know (Italian, English, German) and have an inclination toward novels (adventure, fantasy, science fiction, steampunk and more).

Writing is a lifetime hobby, I started posting short stories on Internet in 2006.

I won second place in a website literary contest in 2006 with a short story called “A che serve avere un cuore” (What use is a heart).

I voiced a few characters in the Italian version of an audio book series for children by Wolfgang Wilhelm  in 2007.

I lead a Reading Group in Italian in Berlin between 2012 and 2013.

I contributed to the website www.a4k.de with a short story for children,  La scuola degli animali , to celebrate the launch of the Italian page. Two more short stories were published after that, in 2012-2013: one for Christmas (a video called “Il dono di Natale”, i.e. “Christmas gift”) and one for Easter (“Da dove arriva la Pasqua?”, i.e. “Where does Easter come from?”)  between 2012 and 2013.

I participated in a “Märchentag” (Story Day) in Berlin as a storyteller in 2013 and 2014.

In January 2018 I started working as a text and teen book editor (Black Moon Street) for the Italian publishing house Le Mezzelane Casa Editrice. Over the years, I have also edited, translated and reviewed translations of books for other series, especially the children's and young adult series.

I've been a member of the "Spot Writers", a project involving four authors and a prompt a month. You can read my contributions on the blog.

Once a month I did readings and storytelling in Italian to children 2 to 5 at the Totem Bookshop. (Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 this activity has been suspended)
