Arndís and Hulda are friends who sometimes write books together and sompetimes apart. By the time they receive the printed copy of their joint work they have no idea who wrote what!
Arndís
Arndís Þórarinsdóttir has an undergraduate degree in Comparative Literature and a postgraduate degree in Creative Writing from the University of Iceland, and another one in Writing for Performance from Goldsmiths College, University of London. She lives in Reykjavík with her husband and two children. More information on her other books can be found at her website: arnd.is
Hulda
Hulda Sigrún Bjarnadóttir studied library science and psychology at the University of Iceland and University of Copenhagen. She lives in Reykjavík with her husband, two daughters and two cats.
Their joint work is represented by David Dunton of the Harvey Klinger Literary Agency.
What’s with the names?
Feel free to write our names with or without the Icelandic spelling! The Þ (thorn) in Arndís’s name is transcribed as Th in other languages. So you can go with Þórarinsdóttir, Thórarinsdóttir or Thorarinsdottir – it’s all good. In Iceland we sort names alphabetically by first name, which is why Arndís’s name comes first on the Icelandic covers of our books. If you’re from a country where you sort by last names, then by all means put Hulda first, as Bjarnadóttir is her patronym. Sigrún is a middle name.
Is it possible to contact you?
