About Maria Børja

Medieviter med over 20 års erfaring som journalist, redaktør, formidler, tekstforfatter og pressekontakt, blant annet fra Dagbladet, Den Norske Opera & Ballett og Nationaltheatret. Jeg holder jevnlig formidlingsforedrag om moderne ballett i Operaen og kjønnsrepresentasjon i film ved KHiO. Jeg bygde opp og drev i 16 år det populære diktforumet Diktkammeret.no (tidligere under Dagbladet.no) sammen med Helge Torvund. Jeg lanserte min tredje bok, Hele verden skal elske oss (noveller), på Cappelen Damm vinteren 2023, etter at jeg ga ut den kritikerroste debuten Voksenting (noveller, 2010) og NY BY (roman, 2013) på Forlaget Oktober. Siden 2014 har jeg vært medlem av Forfatterforeningen. Jeg har bidratt i og redigert en rekke antologier.Våren 2023 fikk jeg A på masteroppgaven «Opprørere på randen av kunstnerisk gjennombrudd» om kvinnerepresentasjon i filmene Ninjababy, Gritt og Verdens verste menneske (Institutt for Medier og Kommunikasjon ved Universitetet i Oslo). Oppgaven ble kalt «et fremragende arbeid», «usedvanlig velskrevet» og «et solid stykke (norsk) filmanalyse, -teori og -historie, et virkelig bidrag til forskningslitteraturen på feltet». Jeg bor i Oslo.(ENG): Writer of three books: Hele verden skal elske oss (The Whole World Must Love Us, short stories), which was published primo 2023 with Cappelen Damm; NY BY (New City, novel, 2013), and the short story collection Voksenting (Grown-Up Things, short stories, 2010; the latter two with Forlaget Oktober).Member of the Writers' Guild of Norway (WGN) since 2014.
