Miriam Lucia: From writing competition to publication
Colleague and author Miriam Lucia explains what participating in writing competitions can lead to. Several short stories have been published in short story collections. At the end of October 2020, her winning thriller novel ‘David and Sara’ appeared in the 4-in-1 book ‘Black Snow’, at Godijn Publishing. In March 2022 she strengthened her name with ‘The Necklace’, from the writing competition with the theme ‘Fatal Encounter’. Later this year she was allowed to sign another author’s contract. Last September was followed by the launch of ‘The corpse in the library’. This feel-good detective is the first part of a series starring librarian Ilona Wachters.
Where and how does she prefer to write and where does Miriam find her inspiration? Come talk to her about her writing adventures. Maybe you want a (fictional) role in a next part?

Lecture Infections: worth knowing about how viruses work
It’s the season: a cough and a runny nose ‘was part of it’ but are quickly exciting in the current time. Our health is important to us, how can we influence this ourselves? Because what is a virus, and how does an infection work?
Lex van der Kooij, physiotherapist/teacher and member of the Voorschoten prevention agreement tells all about it during his lecture with a lot of information about how a virus works and what we ourselves can do to minimize the chance that a virus will infect us. .

Give or give as a gift: Comic Strip Writing Workshop
Soon we will have a super cool workshop for all young people who love comic strips and for those who didn’t know that yet.
Esther Holtkamp has been an editor at Donald Duck Weekblad for many years and explains how a comic strip is made in Donald Duck and how you too can make a comic strip. For example, do you have to be very good at drawing to make a comic strip? (Answer: no!)
Of course you will also get started with making your own comic strip. We are curious about the results!
