Residency artists and researchers Other Riikka Tanner MA, Nonfiction writer Since 1985 I’ve worked as a scriptwriter, journalist and director on documentary films, in partnership with Kanerva Cederström. I started writing seriously about ten years ago, and so far I have two books to my credit. Linda kulkee keskellä tietä (Linda Takes the Middle of the Road) was published by Tammi in 2005, and Käheä-ääninen tyttö (Husky-voiced Girl), co-written with Tuula Lund, was published in 2009, also by Tammi. In the beautiful two-room apartment in the farmhand’s cottage at the Saari Residence I’ll begin my novel. I’m confident that the tranquillity of the place and cheerful fellow residents will help me get the book off to a flying start while at Saari.
