Hedwig Van Driel 2012

Hedwig Van Driel 2012

Hedwig van Driel has written about film on the side for years and years, and she's finally trying to turn her hobby into a career. So far, that means writing film reviews and trend pieces for cult film magazine Schokkend Nieuws ("shocking news"), procrastinating from editing her upcoming paranormal romance, trying to get some short (mostly sci-fi) fiction off the ground and holding out a virtual sign saying "will write about film for food". It's a good thing that teaching quantum mechanics to college undergraduates pays the rent!
