Aila Johanna Sinisalo is a Finnish science fiction and fantasy writer.[1] She studied comparative literature and drama, amongst other subjects, at the University of Tampere.[2] Professionally she worked in the advertising business, rising to the level of marketing designer.
An important figure in the Finnish science fiction scene in the late 1980s and early '90s (winning a rare back-to-back collection of Atorox Awards for short fiction in the genre), she was also the first Finnish science fiction writer to make a mainstream breakthrough by breaking genre barriers.
