Astrid Mohlin has studied radio and screenwriting at Stockholm University of the Arts (Stockholms konstnärliga högskola) and her trademarks are character driven stories with a witty yet realistic dialogue. She specializes in humour, young adult, and drama. 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.
