Nilsson & Bauer

Johanna Nilsson was born in 1973 in Uppsala but grew up in Borlänge. She made her debut in 1996 with the acclaimed novel She goes through the painting, out of the picture. She has subsequently published around 40 books in various genres and has been nominated for the August prize twice. She is not afraid to take up serious subjects and she is tender for the odd and vulnerable, but in her stories, there is also a lot of warmth, love, and humor.

Maria Bauer was born in 1974. She is a multiple award-winning behavioral scientist and internationally appointed expert on violence. She has sat on the board of UN Woman Sweden, written teaching materials and trained 300,000 people about dealing with violence. She often describes herself as a peace worker.

Maria Bauer and Johanna Nilsson thought about "doing something together". Gradually, the author duo's heroines Mia and Hedda emerged - Bauer and Nilsson's alter egos. Bauer's solid knowledge together with Nilsson's literary language and an intense and very playful collaboration – despite the serious subject matter – paved the way for the first book about Bach & Wall.
