Anders Sparring

Born in 1969, Stockholm, Sweden.

After trying out different professions in the 90:s, i finally ended up writing scripts for children’s television in 1999, and have been doing that since. While being on parent leave (whit a baby that slept all the time) I started writing my first book for children. I made my debut in 2012 and I few years later I met Per Gustavsson on stage when our publisher had hired me as interviewer during a book-day at Natur & Kultur. In 2017 me and Per launched the first book of our Pincher’s-series. During this time I also did some standup-comedy, which (I think) has made an influenced on the Pincher’s. My main objective is to make books that are funny.

Since my original trade is scriptwriting it was natural for me to start thinking of the Pincher’s in terms of adaptation for films and television. The TV-show premiered in 2021 and the feature film premiered in November 2023.
