PaulaW
Paula Werdnik is a published copywriter and poet. Her creative writing is informed by her academic background in Arts & Culture Studies (BA) and English Literature (MA). She is originally from Berlin but grew up across six countries, including Tanzania, Sri Lanka, Canada, and the United States. Her lived experience as a third-culture kid continues to inspire her work. In her writing, she explores themes such as identity, cultural belonging/living between cultures, grief, the mother wound, and human connection to nature. Her work is inspired by ecofeminist themes and confessional poetry styles. She is currently based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Her work has been featured in Issue Magazine Amsterdam, AMAIZING Magazine 2025, Eat The Storms poetry podcast, Heart Locket Mag, the 2023 Dichtober digital poetry bundle, TendernessPress, RevUU Magazine, and Raffia Magazine, among others.
