Anita Terpstra at Noirwich Crime Writing Festival
Anita Terpstra is a Virtual Writer in Residence at the Noirwich Crime Writing Festival. She will create new work and foster connections between Norwich, England’s first UNESCO City of Literature, and her home city, Leeuwarden.
Anita Terpstra’s debut thriller Nachtvlucht (Night Flight) was nominated for the Shadow Prize and the Crimezone Thriller Award. Samen (Together) was nominated for the Golden Gallows. Her books have been translated in German and French.

I do hope my residency puts Leeuwarden ‘on the thriller writing map’, so to speak, and am looking forward to sharing my writing with the (virtual) visitors of the festival.’
