Hanna Jedvik is an author, literary critic, and cultural journalist. She made her debut in 2010 with a young adult novel and has since written several books for both young readers and adults. Raised in Karlstad, she was named Värmland Author of the Year in 2013. She now lives in Gothenburg, near the harbour, and spends part of her time in her cottage in Bohuslän.
In addition to her writing, Hanna Jedvik has worked as a journalist for more than twenty years, including for Swedish Radio, Swedish Television, and Göteborgs-Posten. She also serves as chair of Författarcentrum Väst and is the founder of the literary festival Litteratur & Granit in Bohuslän.
Hanna Jedvik’s writing is characterised by poetic language, emotional depth, and great empathy. With sensitivity and a light touch, she portrays her characters’ inner lives and their struggles with identity, life choices, mental health, and love. She describes her trilogy about the young woman Alma as “a queer Normal People”, with Alma’s complicated yet passionate relationship with her girlfriend Hedvig running like a thread throughout all three books.
Together with fellow author Emmy Abrahamson, she has written The Great Artist and The Well of Happiness, the two books in the Radio Heroes series.
Hanna Jedvik’s debut suspense novel is the first instalment in a new series about investigative journalist Clara Törn, to be published in summer 2026.
