Ellen Fjestad
Ellen Fjestad (born 1979) is a Norwegian writer of young adult fiction.
Hailing from Stange, she tried her hand at several vocations, taking educations in both nursing, gardening and children's writing. In 2011 she won a 200,000 kr stipend from Schibsted to complete her debut novel, based on her initial drafts submitted to Schibsted's competition.[1] The book was published in 2012 under the title Sammen skal vi holde himmelen, and earned her the Uprisen award.[2]
Fjestad followed with Døgnfluedans (Schibsted, 2015) and Den som vokter lyset (Vigmostad & Bjørke, 2019).[3]
