Specialist area: books and authors

Every book holds a conversation. I help you find it.

I have a BA in Literature and a BA in Strategic Communication. It's an unusual combination, and it means I read a book in two ways at once. What is it really about? And why should anyone care about it right now?

Book marketing gets so much more interesting when the content sparks curiosity about the ideas and questions in the book, instead of constantly saying buy my book. I look at the communication around the whole book, not a few isolated Instagram posts.

Author branding isn't about turning writers into influencers.

It's about understanding what you write about, which conversations you can credibly take part in, what makes your perspective recognisable and how one book can become part of a larger body of work.

I have a soft spot for literary fiction, poetry, cultural writing and books with a social, historical or psychological angle. But I'm not limited to any genre.

Eldhäst · Susanne Sinclair (2026)

Need
The new edition of the novel Eldhäst needed visibility and a way to find its readers.
What I did
Communication strategy, positioning, social media and press work. I found several journalistic angles within the same novel, one literary, one social and one cultural, so each newsroom got a pitch that suited them. I also planned and moderated several literary events in Malmö, including a book launch with an author talk and the evening Blodsband och brustna band at Trisses Bokbox with the poet Ylva Gripfelt.
Result
A launch built on conversations, events and targeted angles instead of one generic press release.

About

Hi, I'm Evelyn.

When someone asks what I do, I usually say I help people figure out what's interesting about what they're doing, and how to make others care about it. Then I do the work too. The strategy, the copy, the content, the press and the events.

I started my own company because the work I enjoy most doesn't fit neatly into one traditional communication role. I like moving between writing, strategy, content, PR, research and events. And I want to work closely with authors, founders and creative people where I can really make a difference.

Clients tell me I'm very engaged and full of ideas. I do the task I'm given, but I almost always spot more opportunities around it. One more angle, one more contact, one more idea.
