Fixdit
Fixdit originated in 2020 out of dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in the literary world. The premise of Fixdit is that literary quality is not an objective fact, but the result of what you have read. As a writers’ collective, we are committed to women authors of the past and in the present. We published a much-discussed manifesto (Optimistic Rage, 2022), several podcast series and opinion pieces. We also focus on literature education in high schools, for example by providing educational material for teachers.
Yra van Dijk
Yra van Dijk is reading list project leader from Fixdit. She likes to read against the grain. As a literary scholar, essayist and reviewer, and a visiting professor at Leiden University, she goes in search of that which is usually overlooked. She has published books and essays on the late postmodern and millenial novel, and is preparing a monograph on Dutch Caribbean literature.
Iris Kater Mirsalari
Iris Kater Mirsalari is reading list project manager from Fixdit. She studied Dutch literature and philosophy, writes pieces on literature and feminism and is a talkative bookseller at Boekhandel het Martyrium in Amsterdam.
