Quill and Inkwell

Welcome!

Spin A Yarn is a Swedish-based text agency specialising in historical non-fiction and research. It is run by Imelda Helena Johansen, Ph.D.
We believe that historical narrative should be empirically rigorous as well as pleasurable to read, and are on a mission to share our love of history with the world.

If you are looking for someone to make sense of a sprawling collection of archive material, chronicle the past workings of your organisation or society, or beguile an audience with tales of eroticism in the nineteenth century madhouse (well...), you have come to the right place.
