We have some changes at our Agency: First, we would like to express our warmest thanks to Literary Agent Julia Kellums for her excellent work at our Agency, as she has decided to pursue new challenges as of May 1st, 2021.
Secondly, we’d like to introduce and welcome our new colleague, Literary Agent Ebba Erolin, who starting today, is handling rights in the Nordic Countries and France, and in collaboration with our co-agents in Spain, Latin America, Brazil & Portugal and Japan and Korea.
Julia and Ebba will work together over the transition period in April. Ebba has worked with marketing at our Agency since February 2021.
We wish Ebba a perfect beginning and support her on the way of becoming the best agent in the world.
Ebba has an MA degree in Political Sciences and an International Degree in Marketing and Advertising. She has a long career in media industry, having worked for content teams in TV. Ebba also loves bringing stories out for others to enjoy. Writing and books are part of who Ebba is – she loves biographies and memoirs as she can travel both in time and space through them.
We are thrilled to continue working with you and passionate to find the best Finnish authors & titles for your list! See our fresh Spring Catalogue here!
