ABOUT ME

My name is Milla van der Have. I wrote my first poem when I was 16, during a physics class and I’ve been at it ever since. I started out writing in Dutch, but a couple of years ago I switched to English.

I write poetry and short stories. I like a well-told story, but not an easy one. As a reader as well as a writer, I like it when not all is revealed. Also, I look for twists, be it in plot or perspective.

My work has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies. In 2013 one of my short stories won a New Millenium Writings Fiction Award. In 2015 I published my chapbook 'Ghosts of Old Virginny' with Aldrich Press.
