Astrid Mohlin is a screenwriter and author, specializes in humour, young adult, and drama. Her trademarks are character driven stories with a witty yet realistic dialogue. Astrid has created several shows for SR (Swedish Radio), like their Christmas calendar from 2023, writes TV-shows. She debuted as an author in 2024 with Fake.
When writing for young adults, one of the hardest things are to understand, but not underestimate, your audience. For Astrid, a key factor to achieve this, is research. Before creating the podcast series Fake she interviewed over 300 school kids, as well as travelling to Norway to meet the creators behind the tv-series Skam to discuss methods. The podcast Fake was such a big success that Bonnier Carlsen wanted to published it as a book.
Astrid Mohlin has studied radio and screenwriting at Stockholm University of the Arts (Stockholms konstnärliga högskola).
