Kenneth Bøgh Andersen

I was born in Denmark on a dark and stormy night in November 1976. I began writing when I was a teenager. My first book was a really awful horror novel titled Nidhug's Slaves. It didn't get published. Luckily.

During the next 7 years, I wrote nearly 20 novels-all of which were rejected-while working as a school teacher. The rest of the time I spent writing.

In 2000 I published my debut fantasy book, The Battle of Caïssa, and that's when things really took off. Since then I've published more than thirty-five books for children and young adults in genres ranging from fantasy to horror and science fiction.

My books have been translated into more than 15 languages and my series about the superhero Antboy has been adapted for film, which is avail

Maren Uthaug

Maren Uthaug (født 1972) er blogger, stribe-tegner og forfatter af halvt samisk, halvt norsk oprindelse.

Uthaug vandt i 2013 Politikens tegneseriekonkurrence og har derfor siden haft en fast stribe i avisens kultursektion under overskriften Ting, jeg gjorde. Striben følger i minimalistisk stil tændstikkvinden Maren i hendes gøren og laden. Desuden har Uthaug siden 2009 haft bloggen Marens blog, hvor hun dagligt poster tekster, billeder og tegninger af, hvad hun går og laver.

Og sådan blev det er Uthaugs debutroman fra 2013 om en ung pige, der tvinges væk fra sin samiske verden og i stedet skal vokse op i Sønderjylland. Hele livet føler hun sig fremmedgjort, og derfor tager hun som voksen tilbage til barndommens land for at finde sine rødder.

Sarah Engell

Sarah Engell er født og opvokset i Tårnby, hvor barndommen gik med at læse og skrive. Allerede i børnehaven var hun optaget af at tegne og skrive små bøger, og i folkeskolen lavede og udgav hun sammen med en veninde et hjemmelavet magasin. Og så skrev hun selvfølgelig dagbog. ”Jeg skrev dagbog og fyldte tonsvis af notesbøger med historier om alt fra voldelige havmåger til dødsangst og svimlende ungdomsforelskelser. Jeg tror, det var min måde at forsøge at forstå verden og mig selv på. Det er det nok i virkeligheden stadig.” (Maria Roslev: Interview Forfatterweb, april 2015).

Drømmen om at blive forfatter har derfor på en måde altid ligget i Engell, men den blev først rigtig bevidstgjort, da hun som 15-årig kom på efterskole og af sin dansklæ

Nikoline T. Ammitzbøll

Nikoline T. Ammitzbøll (f. 2003) er født og opvokset på Frederiksberg. Allerede som 8-årig var hendes drøm at blive forfatter. Hun færdiggjorde sin første roman dagen inden sin 13.-års fødselsdag, sendte den til Gyldendal og ventede i spænding på det, der skulle blive hendes første afslag. Det tog heldigivis ikke modet fra hende, og i 2017 vandt Nikoline Saxos "Skrivedysten", der gav hende endnu mere mod på at forfølge forfatterdrømmen. Og da hun igen sendte et manuskript ind til Gyldendal, blev det antaget ... PIGEN DER RØRTE VED SKÆBNEN (2025) er hendes debut. Ved siden af at skrive studerer Nikoline statskunstskab på KU.
