Amanda Svensson är bosatt i Malmö. Hon är verksam som kulturjournalist och debuterade med den uppmärksammade Hey Dolly (2008).

Amanda Svensson nominerades till Augustpriset 2011 för Välkommen till den här världen: med motiveringen:
”En oliksidig triangel är inte perfekt, konstaterar författaren till den här romanen, om kärlek, vänskap och en ödesdiger svartsjuka. I 'Välkommen till den här världen:' svingar sig Amanda Svensson suveränt mellan olika språknivåer och skildrar färgsprakande, lekfullt och hektiskt tre unga människor på jakt efter mening i Köpenhamns elektrifierade natt. En nattklubbstragedi, en hela-havet-stormarlek på liv och död. Det är intensivt, det är innovativt och det är alldeles alldeles underbart.” ...more

Quotes by Amanda Svensson (?)

“Jag vet att om mitt hjärta inte satt fast bakom revbenen skulle det rymma sin väg och aldrig komma tillbaka. Det är för väl att människans viktigaste organ är placerat bakom galler. Där kan det sen sitta och bitas och slåss bäst det vill och slå mot trumhinnorna tills allt som hörs är ett stadigt tickande. Som från en bomb eller ett präktigt schweiziskt armbandsur.”
― Amanda Svensson, Hey Dolly

“Han är hennes Amerika. Det var allt jag kunde tänka. Det är så det ska vara. Kärlek ska vara som en stor, okänd kontinent. Man landstiger, och sen vill man ägna resten av sitt liv åt att bygga bo och slakta ursprungsbefolkningen.”
― Amanda Svensson, Välkommen till den här världen:
