For A.W. Bruna Uitgevers - the leading Dutch publisher, based in Amsterdam - I acquire new and existing Dutch and foreign authors for non-fiction label Lev. Lev. is a label that focuses on topics such as personal development, psychology as well as management or cook books to name some of the genres. With an on-trend approach, our collaboration strives to cater to the needs of the millennial audience. You might know Lev. from bestsellers such as 'De edele kunst van not giving a f*ck' by Mark Manson or 'Opgeruimd' by Marie Kondo. As a former author I do not only acquire, but also guide authors throughout their creative writing process and I am creatively responsible for marketing and media input during the project.

My first book on how everyone can find a dream job.

How do you find your dream job — in other words, the job that fits exactly who you are and what you want? Ginny will help you with that. She is the founder of Vacature Via Ginny, an online platform for job seekers in the creative industry, and therefore had a lot of experience — including personal experience, since her own career had its share of ups and downs too. In "Ginny werkt," three questions help you discover what you actually want. It's time for a job that truly fits you, not a job that your environment or society came up with for you.
