About us

Frostwriting was born out of the Creative Writing in English course at Gävle university, Sweden, and for a long time, it was only open to the participants of this course. Now, with its rebirth, the retooling of our site and several new people behind the scenes, we have decided to open it to the world.

First and foremost, we are interested in good writing in English – regardless of subject matter or the nationality of the writer.

We, the people behind Frostwriting, have between us an incredible amount of experience of living abroad, speaking and writing in a second (or third!) language, and finding our way around in new cultures. With this in mind, we want to increase knowledge about Sweden as seen from the inside and from the outside.

This means that we are in particular looking for texts dealing with cross-cultural experiences, involving Swedish culture, texts that build bridges and increase understanding in every imaginable way.
