Viktoriia Medvied (she, her, hers) is a Ph.D. student in Creative Writing and Modern Languages at the University of St Andrews. Her research is about writing Ukrainian children’s literature after February 2022 and the translation of the unspeakable into language through cognitive metaphor, narrative psychology, fairytale, and bibliotherapy.

Viktoriia is a published author for children in Ukrainian and translates contemporary Ukrainian children’s literature into English.
