Claudia Seibl
ScriptIn 1987, Claudia was sadly not born in Forks, Washington, but much like a certain vampire, she maintains a “forever seventeen” attitude. Her work is easily identified by its quirky and lovable characters as well as a healthy dose of pink. Much like Claudia herself, the stories she gravitates towards may have their heads in the clouds at times, but always feature a big heart.
Claudia’s perspective is feminist, queer, and she writes first and foremost for the girlies. She works in both English and German, preferably from her bathtub. She is able to work in any genre because her focus is always on the characters. Her favorite stories to write though are romcoms and crime comedies.
Hit producer Christian Becker habitually refers to Claudia as “the girl with a million ideas”. And because she never backs down from a challenge, she is currently working on a bursting-at-the-seams catalog of ideas that may at some point actually reach that elusive number.
In her down time, Claudia likes to exert herself by means of physical exercise as well as devouring a frankly worrying amount of books. She also hosts Germany’s most successful (and only) WNBA fan podcast and likes to research local ghost stories from inside her pink writing studio. She spends her nights being the world’s worst sleeper.
Claudia works and lives in Munich.
