For the Press

If you request it by email, I am happy to send you all photos in higher resolution as well as short and longer descriptions of all the programs I offer.
You can find out more about me and my work here at My Story.

As mentioned on other pages here — I also tell stories in English!
Here are a few sentences about my work if you need a text right away.

Faux pas

Please do not write “reading”!
Free, lively storytelling is very different from reading aloud from a book. But because we are more familiar with the term "reading" than "storytelling evening", the two are sometimes confused. It's a bit like calling a violinist a DJ…
Also I do not tell stories that I made up myself, but rather ancient tales for adults from oral traditions around the world.

A short announcement could look like this:

The award-winning storyteller brings ancient stories into the here and now, transporting listeners to the past and everlasting.
Clear, rich language, strong material, subtle humor and a love of stories characterize her style.

Or if there is more space:
