The former prime minister of Finland who went viral last year in a provocative dance video is writing a book and shopping for publishers, Finnish media is reporting.
Sanna Marin, who became the youngest prime minister in Finland’s history at age 34, is working on a book titled “Our Turn: Fearless Leadership for a New Generation,” according to sources who spoke to Finnish outlet Ilta-Sanomat.
The outlet said sources confirmed that William Morris Endeavor, an American talent agency, was trading the rights to the book and that bidding for international rights is likely already ongoing.
The report comes on the heels of Marin signing with American management and production company Range Media Partners to assist her in navigating potential media opportunities, ranging in platforms from TV, movies and brand partnerships.

“I danced, sang and partied – perfectly legal things. And I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve seen or known of others [using drugs],” she said after the video circulated online.
Critics said the behavior was unbecoming of a prime minister, but Marin shot back that her partying was normal behavior for many people in their 30s.

“I have a family life, I have a work life, and I have free time to spend with my friends – pretty much the same as many people my age,” she said at the time, as reported by the BBC.
