Dominique Simona Binggeli

Dominique Simona Binggeli, born 1994 in Bern, Switzerland, has always been passionate about writing. She wrote her first book, an illustrated story about a princess, at six years old. In 2016, she left everything behind to travel around the world. She started writing Tower Over Me when volunteering on an organic farm in Botswana. Five months and eight countries later, she finished the story in a guesthouse in the Himalayan mountains. A first version of Tower Over Me was published in 2018. The book has since been rewritten. Next to writing novels, Dominique works for the biggest union in Switzerland and is politically active for women's rights and animal rights.
