Hello!

I'm a writer from Slovenia and my first novel is gonna be published this month by a renowned slovenian publisher. I would like to try to publish my book also on finnish language ( why, it's a long story). So I would like to know, if there are some finnish literature agencies, which are representing non-finnish autors and helping them to find a book publisher in Finland? Or book publishers, which are publishing translations of south european authors? I will be very thankful for any advice.

Thank you for your attention and best regards!

Sanoma WSOY is the biggest publisher in Finland.

It depends a bit on what your book is about which publisher will want to publish your book.

Hello,

thank you for this information. The book belongs into the category female literature and it's a romantic and sensual love story.

How many pages?

You'd just need to contact different publishers. There's http://www.publishers.fi but I'm not sure if it's exhaustive... see also http://www.kustantajat.com/

but there's always the Harlequin option

Check at least a bit before sending emails... some of the publishers are concentrated on technical manuals etc so they won't be too impressed by titles like "The Bodice That Was Ripped in Twain"
