Enchanting our inner child
About the Author
Birgit Schreiber is an emerging author focused on writing tales with wondrous magic, filled with loveable characters who navigate trials and tribulations that test faith and character in themselves and others.
She enjoys creating stories that transport the reader out of this world and into their own imagination. Readers can always expect hints of magic, family and found-family bonds, as well as storylines that propel characters and readers alike on journeys toward hope and possibility.
As a first-generation American, Birgit creates unique magic and setting inspired by her Germanic heritage. Her stories are steeped with a playful coziness and whimsical flare to honor her culture’s traditions.

Writing books where readers can find imagination, belonging, and faith within the pages
A lifetime of inspiration
As a child, I imagined stories and fantastical worlds before I could even write. All through life, my imagination and love for books, folklore, and magical things filled and entertained me.
If I can write just one book that gives one reader the comforting sense of escapism I’ve always enjoyed, I will consider myself a successful author.
Stories made hard times in life easier somehow. Alternate worlds, where magic is an option; where unworldly possibilities can be made a new reality, eased pain and worry of real life.
Through the decades, stories like Narnia, The Hobbit, Inkheart, and Harry Potter reminded me of the types of books I wanted to write some day. I’ve always had a passion to create worlds that others could escape to…just as I did through a wardrobe in a bedroom and that unexplored rabbit hole.
Thanks for having an interest in getting to know me and my muse. “TradeMagic” is something I’ve spent my lifetime imagining and finally put down as words on paper. From the earliest inspirations of Santa Claus flying around to deliver toys to a heroic Jedi who can restore hope to a galaxy, TradeMagic is my story that I hope will delight you.
I hope that my work gives readers the same type of wondrous escape, inspiration, passion, and joy that stories have always given me.
Birgit’s future writing plans
The final book in the TradeMagic trilogy, Book Three, awaits my revisions and self editing before even running past professional editing rounds. It is my sincere hope to publish it in two years time. (Let the race begin!)
m working on a stand-alone cozy women’s Christmas story about a magic Advent calendar that I will try to publish traditionally. (There are actually four such “Advent calendar” ideas that are each stand-alone books. Working on these in my “spare” time when not TradeMagicing.)
I have several ideas for other books, like an epic quest fantasy and a soul-gripping dystopian, both with good-versus-evil and magical, faith-based storylines, but I won’t tackle those until after my TradeMagic books are done.
