Writer and Self Publishing Coach 

 
 
 

I never thought I could be a published writer…

For as long as I can remember, writing has been my dream job. It wasn’t until I moved to the UK in my twenties and got a job at the BBC, that the dream came true. I became a news reporter and translator and can boast of breaking the news of the Russian Chernobyl disaster to the Western World.

Still, I dreamt about being able to write and publish my own books. In 2012 I achieved this goal when I published my first title, The English Heart, a true military romance set in 1980s Finland. I haven’t looked back and now work full-time as a writer.

Fourteen fiction and three nonfiction titles later, and with Master’s Degrees in Marketing and Creative Writing, I’m a Nordic Ambassador for the Alliance of Independent Authors, and a Fellow at CreateThinkDo.

I love helping other writers self-publish and market their books. Passing on the experience of nearly a decade of self-publishing is beyond anything I could have dreamt about as a schoolgirl in Finland!
