My name is Kirsten Malmberg. I am born in 1985 and come from a town in Norway called Stavanger. I love to write and have been writing since the age of nine. I started writing when my grandmother gave me a book with white papers. Since then I have been an active writer. Mostly I write poetry and texts. Some of it is in English but most of it is on dialect. I used to write in “bokmaal” but then I stopped doing that around the age of sixteen. I think it sounds wrong and not me if I do not write in dialect.

I would like to write song lyrics and publish poetry books in the future. It is good to give yourself goals and challenges so I try to whenever I can. I live in London at the time were I study Film and Creative Writing. I hope that I one day will be able to write scripts to both film and theatre. It feels good to write and I hope you as a reader will feel good about reading it. To write is both difficult and easy at the same time. It is the way I find it most easy to express myself.

When you write there is something within you that wants to be found. Writing can be powerful if you use your words in a good way. Words can capture persons emotions let them feel alive and that the words are alive.

Eg elske å skriva! I love to write!
