Organizer
Terttu Sjelvgren
Terttu Sjelvgren, a member of the Espoo Writers’ Association, talks about her journey to becoming a writer and discusses the process of turning her debut work (I Confess I Kept Silent, under the pen name Ida Paackari) into a book. Where did she get the idea for the book? Where did she find the background information? How did the plot take shape? And what was the publishing process like? The event will be held in Finnish.
