Mieke

Writer

This is me as Yousha-Mieke. Honestly, I thought the system might crash when I entered my age (62), but I think the result turned out quite nice. I live in Gouda, in a tiny house by the museum harbor, where I raised my two children (now 22 and 24) with books and bedtime stories. These days, in their free time, they happily disappear into a thick fantasy series and read for pleasure. For their studies, it has proved very helpful that they are able to absorb long texts and have a large vocabulary because of this. After studying Spanish and English Language and Literature, I went on to translate stacks of thrillers as a literary translator. At the moment, I provide audio description for films and series, and I also very much enjoy writing children’s books.
