Tidbeck debuted with the short story collection Vem är Arvid Pekon? in 2010,[1] followed by the novel Amatka in 2012. Her first work in English, the short story collection Jagannath, was published in 2012 by Cheeky Frawg to favorable reviews,[2][3] with Gary K. Wolfe describing Tidbeck as "one of the most distinctive new voices in short fiction since Margo Lanagan".[4] The collection made the shortlist for the 2012 James Tiptree, Jr. Award and was nominated for the World Fantasy Award. The short story "Augusta Prima", originally written in Swedish, was translated into English by Tidbeck who won a Science Fiction & Fantasy Translation Award (2013) in the Short Form category.[5] The English translation of Amatka was published in 2017.
