H.J. Nelson is an Idaho native who graduated from the University of Wisconsin with degrees in Creative Writing and Wildlife Biology. She began writing on Wattpad in 2015, where her story The Last She garnered over 12 million reads. It became one of the most-read Science Fiction stories on Wattpad in 2016 and 2017, and was acquired by Wattpad Books for publication as a three-book series. Since then, Nelson has had her work optioned for television by Sony and translated for publication into French (Hachette) and Italian (Mondadori).

A winner of the 2023 Early Career Alumni Award from the University of Wisconsin, Hannah has also written for brands like General Electric, National Geographic, and Writers Digest. When not writing, Nelson has lived on a boat in the British Virgin Isles, worked in two zoos, and ridden an elephant through the jungles of Laos-- though she considers raising two daughters her most dangerous adventure yet.
