Tone Myklebust (b. 1970) lives in Egersund, the neighboring town of Sokndal. She has a background in education and management, but has worked more or less full-time with writing since her writing studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tromsø. Myklebust has published three books to date: the fairytale book Gutten med Trollpikken (2017, Dreyer Bok), the short story collection Det stoppar ikkje her (2020, Cappelen Damm) and the short story collection Rutine ved varsling (2023, Cappelen Damm).

She is currently working on a novel project with the working title Den kvite dagen. Myklebust is particularly concerned with the fragile and broken nature of human life and with the idea that literature - and art in general - should be a place that can accommodate and make visible what we otherwise try to hide.
