Escritura sobre la marcha: Conoce a Juma Kliebenstein

"Me gusta escribir en diferentes lugares", dice la autora infantil Juma Kliebenstein. "Básicamente, en cualquier lugar, menos en casa. En cafeterías, bares de hotel o en la naturaleza".

¿Quién puede identificarse? 🙋

Juma es una autora alemana de libros infantiles que ha publicado nada menos que 17 libros desde 2009. Su nueva serie de libros, "Die schlimmste Klasse der Welt", ha aparecido tres veces en la lista de los más vendidos del país alemán.

Juma dice que era una niña muy activa, siempre andaba por el barrio en su triciclo. Pero cuando tenía cuatro años, la hospitalizaron repentinamente y la confinaron en una habitación, lo cual fue una pesadilla para una niña exploradora como ella.

Aprendió a leer y escribir en el hospital y pronto se dio cuenta de que si tienes historias, no importa si estás atrapado en un lugar. Puedes viajar dentro de tu cabeza.

Hoy en día, puede hacer ambas cosas.

Y elige usar sus historias para invitar a los niños a viajar a mundos que no requieren mucho dinero ni un cuerpo sano. Un lugar que pueden visitar sin permiso de nadie.

Juma escribe todos sus libros en su máquina de escribir inteligente Freewrite color limón o en su Alpha blanco moteado. Le encanta poder llevarlas a todas partes.

(Eligió la brillante y soleada edición especial Lemon porque coincide con el diseño de la portada de su serie más vendida).

[Freewrite] ha mejorado mi vida como escritora. Antes, cuando escribía en mi portátil, siempre estaba relacionado con la declaración de la renta, el correo electrónico a las editoriales, la organización de giras de libros y todo eso que los autores hacen pero que no tiene nada que ver con escribir. Ahora, cada vez que escribo en mi Freewrite, me siento como una autora, y nada más. ¡Es maravilloso!

Juma da una advertencia: si lleva sombrero, significa: "¡Por favor, no molesten! La autora está escribiendo una nueva historia para ustedes con mucha concentración y se pondrá furiosa si la interrumpen".

La cuarta entrega de la exitosa serie de Juma se lanzará en febrero de 2025.
