Jevita Nilson
Author of Children’s Fiction
based in WA
Jevita Nilson is an Australian children’s author who is passionate about creating meaningful and uplifting stories that encourage young children to embrace their imaginations and explore the world around them.
Combining her love of nature, words, and all things wondrous, Jevita creates books that inspire, entertain and educate young readers. She writes lyrical fiction and non-fiction picture books that weave together nature, family, emotions, and the eternal joys of childhood. She also writes fun, rhyming picture books and chapter books for young readers.
Jevita’s debut picture book, Happy Hearts, was published by New Holland Publishers in 2020. Her non-fiction titles include Our World Full of Wonder (2024) and Our World of Wild Wonders (2025), both published by CSIRO Publishing.
When she’s not creating children’s books, Jevita works as an Organisational Development Consultant, using her degrees in Psychology and Human Resource Management. She lives with her husband and two kids in the outer suburbs of Perth, a stones throw from the glorious Indian Ocean.
She is an active member of SCBWI, the Australian Society of Authors, and the Children’s Book Council of Australia and regularly attends writing conferences and kid-lit events.
