I’m Nicole Rimensberger and Hello Typewriter is a space for readers, writers and anyone who not only loves books, but believes in their magic too.
Hello Typewriter started as a personal project to remind myself to read, write and do the things I love, but has grown into so much more. It has become a home for my children’s books and online courses, musings and recommendations, as well as additional resources which you can download for free.
This is a space that celebrates the power and magic of stories!




About The Author
Nicole Rimensberger believes very passionately in books and that if there is a kind of magic in the world, then it can be found between the covers of a book. She has been chasing this magic ever since she was little and learned how to read.
Over the years she has worked in the monitoring and evaluation of educational projects for NGOs, volunteered for an organisation teaching English to refugees in Durban and, more recently, in academia teaching English in teacher training programmes. Her mission in life is to share the magic of books and get people reading.
Nicole Rimensberger is from Durban, South Africa, but is currently living in Delft, the Netherlands with her husband, two daughters and one rescue dog.
