After forsaking an envisioned career in theoretical physics, Catherine completed a degree in Cultural Studies at Stockholm's University, studying Literature, German and Business Economics. She started her path in the publishing industry in 2007, and worked more than thirteen years at Norstedts Agency, before founding BLYANT.

Catherine has represented the internationally acclaimed Millennium Series (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson), bestseller Ruth Kvarnström-Jones, and classics as Frans G. Bengtsson and Stig Dagerman. She's got a keen eye for exceptional talent, broad taste in fiction throughout the genres, and an insatiability for art in all its forms. Among her bookshelf favourites, you would find Knausgård's Morning Star series, almost all works by Annie Ernaux and George R.R. Martin, Paul Celan's poetry, as well as Jilly Cooper's Rivals.

Based in Stockholm and Paris.

Following a decade-long adventure in London involving countless dead-end jobs, a BA Hons Degree in Creative Writing and bookselling on Charing Cross Road, Sofia returned to Sweden where she joined Nordin Agency in 2007. Since then she has also worked as a literary agent at Norstedts Agency and Winje Agency.

Sofia has represented a diverse range of genres and authors through the years, including Lina Wolff, Marie Hermanson and Balsam Karam, and counts Lorrie Moore's Who Will Run the Frog Hospital, Hernan Diaz's In the Distance, Kerstin Ekman's Blackwater and Marie-Hélène Lafon's Histoire du fils among her all-time favourites. She has a soft spot for accessible literary fiction and upmarket fiction with originality and verve, and is always curious to find engaging Scandinavian voices and extraordinary stories about ordinary people. 

Based in Stockholm.
