Hafnarfjörður Public Library warmly invites everyone to a lively and informative literary event where Margrét S. Höskuldsdóttir, author and recipient of the Blóðdropinn Award 2025, and Sæunn Una Þórisdóttir, book editor, will talk about how a book moves from the first idea to a finished publication.
Margrét offers insight into her working process: how an idea is born, how she builds suspense, characters, and plot, what research lies behind the work, and how the process develops from the first drafts.
Sæunn discusses the role of the editor and how collaboration between author and editor shapes the book: how an editor reads a manuscript with critical yet creative eyes, what kind of dialogue is needed to strengthen the text, and why editing is an essential part of a good book.
Together they provide insight into the creative process and the professional work behind the scenes, a journey that readers rarely see but which is crucial to the final result.
Everyone is warmly welcome.
