Alexei Liss is a British-Swedish writer and creative of mixed heritage, raised between Sweden and the UK. He is bilingual in English and Swedish, and has spent extended periods in Asia, the United States and elsewhere in Europe
While studying at UCL in London, he balanced academic work with three years of acting training. After graduating, he worked as an actor in London before spending six months in New York City training at the renowned HB Studio. He then returned to London to pursue a Master’s degree in Social & Cultural Psychology at the London School of Economics, while continuing to seek professional acting work.
When the pandemic hit, he found himself writing more than ever. He subsequently applied to Oxford’s Master’s in Creative Writing, where he spent two formative years learning and writing, eventually beginning what would become his first novel.
Since then, he has written an additional literary fiction novel, several screenplays, and numerous pieces of short fiction. His writing has been featured in Litro Magazine, while his translations have been published by major Swedish publishers.
He is currently seeking literary representation and is availble for selected commercial, film, and voice-over work.
