More indie authors
More indie authors (Egenutgivarna) at the Gothenburg Book Fair 2014.
The day before the Book Fair started we were setting up. Here Helene Kolseth – author of Mål som motivera (Goals that motivate) and a member of the board of Egenutgivarna – dips into Lelle Björklund’s Ett liv på driv. Behind, Tobias Åkerman and Lars Hansare are unpacking books.
During the course of the Book Fair, a number of the Egenutgivarna authors were interviewed at the stand. Here Sverker Snidare, author of Den tretonde messias (The Thirteenth Messiah) is being filmed by Mats Ekman, himself author of Growin’ Leaves. In the screen of Mats’ videocamera you can just make out the interviewer, Hans Hirschi.
On the final day of the Book Fair, when things had calmed down a bit a couple of fantasy authors found time to talk with one another. Left, Hanna Höglund, who has just debuted as an author with Ljuset som var dolt (The Light that was Hidden). Right Caroline Hurtig author of Månfolketsland (The Land of the Moon People) and Ödesguddinansval (The Choice of the Goddess of Fate).
