MIRIAM MARGRAF - Screenwriter


Miriam Margraf was born in Halle (Saxony-Anhalt) in 1964. As the daughter of the music director Horst-Tanu Margraf and the dramaturg, opera director and later novelist Waldtraut Lewin, her childhood was strongly influenced by the opera theatre and the music of Georg Frederic Handel. She has always been feeling close to the cultural region of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. Therefore, after her acting studies at the drama school “Ernst Busch” in Berlin, she moved to Dresden to work there as a freelance writer and music journalist. Despite the city of Dresden still being her home of choice, Berlin has been her main place of residence since 1994. Here, also her children – a daughter, born in 1992 and a son, born in 1996 – grew up.

From 1984 to 2009, 25 books by Miriam Margraf were published, 13 of them together with her mother Waldtraut Lewin. She published two further books in her own publishing house "Bradamante-Verlag" in 2021. Furthermore, she translated 58 books from English into German, among them the series “Heartland”, consisting of 23 volumes, and “Rose Hill" (20 volumes) by Ravensburger Buchverlag.

 Miriam Margraf lives with her husband, an American basketball coach and author, and two Austrian Black and Tan Hounds in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
