Regine Glass

I am Regine Glass, a German journalist who writes mostly in Swedish these days. My working-life was spent as a reporter and news desk editor mostly in Berlin and Eastern Germany before I found my current identity as a freelance writer, translator and mentor in Gothenburg on the Swedish west coast. I’ve been published, among others, in the Göteborgs-Posten, Digitale Provinz, Volksstimme, Missy Magazine and edition f! I wrote poetry about my journey and published it in the photo-book Weg. In my Newsletter “Sweden by accident” I write about my difficult “love-hate relationship” with Sweden. My main topics in journalism are politics, language, urban development and feminism.
