Adrijus Kveda

Adrijus Kveda is a 19-year-old writer born in Alytus, Lithuania. He currently lives in the United Kingdom, studying Psychology and Language Sciences at University College London (UCL). Passionate about creative writing, theatre, martial arts, debating, basketball, and video games, Adrijus draws inspiration from both art and human nature.

His love for storytelling stems from a deep fascination with resilience and human emotion, shaped by Lithuania’s history of exile under the Soviet Union. His key literary influences include Ruta Sepetys’ Between Shades of Gray, Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, Marie Lu’s Legend series, and Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games. He believes stories exist to give power—and a voice—to those who don’t have one.
