About

I am a Danish storyteller now living in Edinburgh.

I have been telling stories professionally and teaching in the art of storytelling for more than 25 years.

Stories have brought me around the world, first Scandinavia, then USA, and since 2017 I have been telling stories around in Scotland, my new homecountry.

I tell stories from Denmark, about Vikings, from the world, about warfare, about GIANTS.

I have written nine books.

Svend-Erik is quite simply a master storyteller. Grounded, inspired, and filled with essential insights. Spending time with Svend-Erik is guaranteed to refresh your mind and open your heart to the power of a story well told, and authentically performed.
