Class acts

Hbl reports that Finland-Swedish publishers Schildts and Söderströms will each publish an anthology of writing on the subject of social class this autumn, with 19 contributors per book. "The main difference between the books seems to be that Söderströms will take a broader view and also include Finnish contributors, like Sauli Niinistö and Sofi Oksanen. The anthology will also be published in Finnish by Teos."

Changes at Teos

News from Helsinki that Maria Säntti is quitting her post as editorial director of Teos, the enterprising independent Finnish fiction and non-fiction publisher which has prominent authors like Leena Krohn and Maria Peura on its list. She is leaving the firm at her own request, and intends to embark on a round-the-world trip. Her place will be taken by Timo Suo, the company's current sales director.
