Two new agents join Elina Ahlback Literary Agency! Welcome Sten-Erik Tammemäe and Elsa Lindström!

We very are happy to introduce and welcome two new literary agents Sten-Erik Tammemäe and Elsa Lindström, to Elina Ahlback Literary Agency.

Sten-Erik has an M.A. degree in History from the University of Tartu.  He enjoys reading both classics, newest releases, and non-fiction, agrees with Carl Sagan that writing might be the greatest of human inventions, and dreams of having a library room for himself and his family.

Elsa is a recent graduate from the University of Glasgow with a MA (Hons) degree in Media and Politics, during which she also completed a year abroad in Waseda University, Tokyo. Her love for exploring and curiosity towards the world shows in her taste in books, which ranges from Dostoyevsky to Tolkien and from sci-fi to Young Adult.

Join us in wishing Elsa and Sten-Erik a welcome to the International Publishing & Literary Agency world! 
We express our warmest thanks to Ebba Erolin for her work at our Agency, as she has decided to leave the agency concentrating on other demanding matters requiring her attention.
