Book Fair denies turning away Jessica Eriksson Holm after Stefan Holm cancellation

When Stefan Holm’s participation in the Book Fair was canceled, his wife, author Jessica Eriksson Holm, was also not allowed to carry out her program items. Now the fair’s management denies that she was turned away.

The Holm couple write books together, and Jessica Eriksson Holm had wanted to appear at the fair, even though her husband Stefan Holm had been reported to the police for assault by podcaster Emil Persson.

But Jessica Eriksson Holm says that she was told that she was not welcome at the fair either. The couple's publishing house had received that message from the fair's management, she tells Aftonbladet.

The fair's management denies this, calling it an editorial decision.

"When the conditions for the programme items changed so quickly, editorial decisions needed to be made about how the remaining programme items would be implemented," says Communications and Marketing Manager Martina Johansson in a statement to TT.
