Name: Malin Stehn
Born: 1969 in Boden (in the very north of Sweden)
Grew up: in Katrineholm (close to Stockholm)
I live: in an old house outside Malmö (in the very south of Sweden)
Family: married to Micke, a son (Lukas 21) and a daughter (Elvira 17)
Pets: Two wild kittens called Peps and Tassa. (Check out my Instagram feed for pics!)
What I do: I am a full time writer. My first book was published in 2006 and since then I have written more than 45 books for young readers. My first novel for adult readers will be published in 2021.
Education: Master of Arts in literary studies at the University of Lund
Background: I worked as an editor for children’s books for ten years before I had the idea to write a book myself. In 2006 I quit as an editor and started free-lancing (in the beginning as an editor, inch by inch my own writing took over).
Read: A lot! Mostly crime.
Fun fact: I love music. In 1997 my former band, Crayfish, released an album in Japan. This fall, 2020, the same album will be re-released world wide on digital platforms. It’s crazy and so much fun! Look out for retro power pop and lyrics in perfect ’swenglish’!
