Maria Johnsen’s nonfiction books cover a wide range of topics and serve as educational resources for undergraduate and postgraduate students in universities across Europe and North America. Since 2013, she has authored 85 nonfiction books in languages including German, French, English, Spanish, Swedish, Norwegian, Japanese, and Russian, all available on Amazon, Google Play, and Google Books.

For any inquiries about her books, feel free to contact Maria; if she is unavailable, her assistant, Helen Larsen, will assist you. Occasionally, Maria offers her nonfiction books for free via Amazon KDP for a limited time, announcing these opportunities on her YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook channels.
The revenue from her nonfiction books is vital for funding her independent films. As a filmmaker outside the traditional studio system, she faces significant challenges in securing financing. Proceeds from her books help cover cast and crew salaries, location rentals, insurance, production design, post-production, and marketing. Despite the challenges, Maria’s nonfiction books play a crucial role in supporting her creative projects.
My passion for writing originates from my early exposure to a diverse range of publications during my childhood. I developed a deep enthusiasm for various genres, including fiction and nonfiction, thanks to my exploration of Russian, American, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, French, and German novels and poems. These literary works, authored by the likes of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Anton Chekhov, Leo Tolstoy, Karin Boye, Émile Zola, August Strindberg, Alexander Dumas, Mark Twain, and Charles Dickens, helped shape my own creative visualization and storytelling abilities. Additionally, I delved into oriental literature from authors spanning several millennia. Throughout my childhood, my goals and dreams were intertwined with the heroes depicted in these captivating tales.
My journey as a writer gained momentum when I encountered Alexander Dumas’s collection, particularly “Joseph Balsamo.” Inspired by his work, I penned my very first fictional story at the age of ten. By the time I turned thirteen, I had written my first screenplay, which I proudly presented to a renowned filmmaker connected to my father. This screenplay focused on the theme of poverty, influenced by one of Dostoyevsky’s books that deeply impacted me. I aspired to become a writer akin to Dostoyevsky, driven by his literary prowess and profound achievements.
Upon reviewing my work, the film producer expressed interest in having a conversation with me. On a cold, rainy Wednesday morning, my father picked me up from school and brought me to the filmmaker’s office. After exchanging pleasantries and engaging in the typical questions adults often ask, he requested that I read a section of my synopsis. Following this, he imparted valuable advice, saying, “To truly depict the rain, you must stand beneath it, experience it firsthand, and then write about it. It is essential to focus on subjects that hold personal significance to you. Craft a story about yourself, your friends and family, and your aspirations.”
Those words resonated deeply with me, and I made it a point to put them into practice. His advice was truly invaluable, and even after his passing two years later, I cherished and internalized the wisdom he shared with me.
My books, available in multiple languages, contain exclusive case studies from various countries that you won’t find online. I selectively share only the information I want you to see about my products. These books are rich in knowledge, designed to assist readers across diverse fields such as marketing, sales, science, law, psychology, finance, and film production. I believe that those who are meant to read them will discover valuable insights that can positively impact their lives.
Having worked on over 7,000 projects across different languages and countries, my case studies in Germany are featured in my digital marketing book in German, while my case studies from France can be found in my French book. As a result, you won’t find these native case studies in my English publications. My marketing-related books in English contain case studies from the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, and South Africa. Additionally, my marketing book in Japanese features case studies from projects I worked on in Japan.
In my science and technology books, I share case studies in science, along with my innovative ideas supported by advanced mathematical equations and programming suggestions. I aim to inspire those with greater financial resources and opportunities to invent and innovate. By documenting my ideas in these books, I hope that others can implement them in technology and science.
