Johnny Kniga
Johnny Kniga, founded in 2002, is an art house badass imprint of WSOY, Werner Söderström Corporation, the largest publishing house in Finland. We focus on creating commercial success stories with quality brands built with hard work.
We have published Top 10 domestic brands as well as Finnish translations of books by some of the biggest names on the planet, e.g. Kamala Harris’ memoir The Truths We Hold, Sir Elton John’s first and only autobiography, Metallica’s official children’s book The ABCs of Metallica, Prince’s memoir The Beautiful Ones, Rammstein’s Till Lindemann’s poetry anthologies, and Mike Tyson’s Undisputed Truth, to name a few. Our forthcoming books include authorized biographies of Yoko Ono and the late EDM superstar Avicii.
We are the Finnish publisher of Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Malin Persson Giolito, and Jo Nesbø, one of the world’s bestselling crime writers.
With a compact list of estimated 25 titles a year, Johnny Kniga offers its authors the muscle of a major publishing house, combined with the flexibility and agility of a small publishing company.
