Gretchen Berg is an American author who is rapidly gaining recognition for her distinctive writing style, which combines personal and intimate elements. She has written both memoirs and fiction, and is known for incorporating her own experiences and perspectives into her work. Berg's writing is notable for its modern and relevant feel, despite often drawing on the past.
Before becoming an author, Berg worked in the fields of education and travel. Although her parents had encouraged her to write, she did not take up writing full-time until she received validation from unexpected sources. During a trip to London, a psychic told her that she was a writer, and later, a taxicab driver in Athens, Greece, echoed this sentiment. The taxicab driver also claimed that they had been lovers in a previous life.
In 2010, Berg completed a humorous memoir, and subsequently turned her attention to genealogy. She began compiling narratives and research reports for clients, while also working on her family's history. It was during this period of family research that Berg stumbled upon an interesting piece of information that would later serve as the inspiration for her debut novel, "The Operator." Despite this success, Berg remains humble and committed to her craft, continuing to produce engaging and thought-provoking work.
