🙌 We are so thrilled to announce that author Laura Andersson has joined the agency! Welcome! Her new 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 introduces the readers to the glamour and bold dreams in the Jazz Age Helsinki of the 1930s, with its exciting and thrilling nightlife and the alluring world of moviemaking!

✨ In STARDUST BOULEVARD (Tähtipölyn bulevardi, Gummerus 2025), the opening volume of the series, Doris Laine, daughter of a bootlegger from Rööperi, pursues her dreams of becoming a movie star while diving into the dangerous but oh-so-captivating underworld of 1930s Helsinki. Doris begins living a double life that she imagines she can control.

💃 The story about forbidden love, friendship and betrayals is dominated by a tantalizing sense of danger. It begins with the repeal of the Prohibition, depicts a modernizing Helsinki and the early days of the Finnish film industry.

✍ Laura Andersson is a Helsinki-based author and book industry professional known for her series of historical novels set in Helsinki.

We are really happy to announce that Bonnier Rights Finland is expanding, and we have a new colleague, Sten-Erik Tammemäe!

Sten-Erik is originally from the Northern Coast of Estonia, but has been living and working in Finland for the past eight years. He holds a PhD in History from the University of Tartu and has focused on the scientific and cultural relations between Estonia and Finland. A self-described 'book dragon', he dreams of a library room for himself and his family, as books of all sorts somehow seem to cluster around him.

Sten-Erik will be working with adult fiction and non-fiction and children’s titles in Southern, Central, and Eastern Europe.
