Bina Štampe Žmavc

Bina Štampe Žmavc (born October 4, 1951, in Celje) is a Slovene writer, poet, director and translator.

After the grammar school she studied comparative literature and literary theory at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana.

She started publishing poetry for adults in the grammar school's gazette named Brstiči, later on in Dialogi, Mentor and Obrazi as well.

Among the poetical collections, Čaroznanke (1990) is the largest one; their motivation has the origin in everyday life as well as reality and experiences of imagination.

Among the prose work we can find animal stories (Slike in zgodbe iz tisoč in enega pasjega dne, 1985) and various short fairy tales and nonsense texts (Popravljalnica sanj, 1992, Muc Mehkošapek, 1998).
