J. Hanson writes stories about women who refuse to decorate the margins. Her work centers consequence, agency, and the complexity of female power—often through speculative, intimate, or quietly subversive lenses.
She holds a BA in Creative Writing and has spent years shaping narrative across mediums: fiction, screenwriting, design, and story architecture. She draws from an enduring sense of absence in the way women are diminished, and builds worlds where they are not.
Originally from the U.S. and now living in Berlin, she is drafting her first novel, a speculative techno thriller set in an isolated research facility. She is interested in character-driven tension, women making hard choices, and the intersection of vulnerability and authority.
When she isn’t writing, she designs, builds small worlds in bricks and pixels, and imagines futures where women take up the entire frame.
