Nominated for Libris Literature Prize!

How proud we are to see our colleague Michiel Stroink nominated for the 2018 Libris Literature Prize! In addition to working as a presentation coach & trainer with us, Michiel lectures and is a successful writer. In 2012 his debut novel Of ik gek ben was published, which was filmed by Frank Lammers. In 2013 he published Tilt, with which he won the Dioraphte Publieksprijs. In 2015 Michiel wrote Exit, which was again very well received.

The jury led by Abdelkader Benali chose 18 titles for the longlist of the 2018 Libris Literature Prize for the best original Dutch-language novel of the past year. Michiel is nominated for this prestigious prize with his latest novel 'De notaris en het meisje'.

On Monday, March 5, a shortlist of six authors will be announced, who will respond to their nominations in a broadcast of Nieuwsuur on NPO Radio 2. The prize will be awarded at the Amstel Hotel in Amsterdam on Monday, May 7.

We wish Michiel the best of luck!
