She made her literary debut in 2018 with the novel Bis ans Ende, Marie (2018). Her fourth novel, Eskalationsstufen, was published this year and won the Marianne.von.Willemer – Frauen.Literatur.Preis, the prize of the city Linz for literature written by women. The novel’s brisk plot depicts the development of emotional dependency and highlights the fact that domestic violence can affect each and every one of us.
