Corinne Heyrman

(Belgium, 1994) is a writer, theatre and podcast maker and one of two City Writers of Eindhoven. Corinne directed the plays Toen mijn vader nog een gastarbeider was (2019) and The Pink Sheep of the Family (2022) for Het Zuidelijk Toneel. As a podcast maker, she contributes to Radio Kras, De Bijsluiter, and Drie uur 's nachts. In her debut novel Het begin en zijn oneindigheid (The Beginning and Its Infinity, 2022), Marcel ends up with a depression in the psychiatric hospital where his granddaughter also stayed years earlier in the eating disorders ward. Together with author Jante Wortel, she performs in their theatrical conversation Onder de huid (Under the Skin) about the porous relationship between the character, the writer, and the world. In their book Het ongemak van een lichaam (The Discomfort of a Body, to be published in January 2026 at De Arbeiderspers), Jante and Corinne interweave their experiences of writing about an eating disorder, allowing honesty in it, and the taboo that surrounds it.
