Marah Woolf
Germany / Fantasy
“I have no idea who or what I would be today without DKP. Most likely not a writer. When I started writing I had no idea what journey I was going on. Today, over 10 years later, I can only advise everyone – if you dream of something, make it come true and if unexpected opportunities arise, take them.”
