Netflix’s upcoming series Diary of a Ditched Girl hits a nerve — because it’s rooted in real life. In this session, the creative team behind the show shares how personal experience can become relatable, resonant, and binge-worthy content.

Diary of a Ditched Girl began as a raw and honest debut novel by Amanda Romare — and is now becoming one of Netflix’s most anticipated Nordic releases. Mixing autobiography, humour and sharp emotional insight, the series offers a bold and relatable take on post-breakup survival, female friendship, and modern vulnerability.

On stage, author Amanda Romare is joined by creators Tove Eriksen Hillblom and Moa Herngren, and director Emma Bucht, in conversation with moderator Emil Millang. Together, they’ll explore how real-life experiences were transformed into a powerful scripted narrative — and why writing what you know can sometimes be the strongest creative tool of all.

Expect an honest, funny, and inspiring conversation about turning personal struggles into relatable, resonant TV.
