Bjarni Thorsteinsson

After finishing a master’s degree in Denmark, Bjarni Thorsteinsson worked for two years as a teacher at Iceland University. For the last 30 years, he has been working in publishing. Thorsteinsson began as an editor, but for the last 16 years he has been working as the publishing director at Veröld, an imprint of Bjartur and Veröld.
