Inger Scharis develops original drama and adaptations for film and television in Swedish and English. She specialises in suspense, crime, and drama. 

As head writer, Inger has written more than 100 hours of broadcast TV drama. She contributes to the screenwriting process with creativity, knowledge, experience, curiosity, a strong work ethic, and good leadership. As a script doctor, she has an excellent ability to analyse a script and make it even better.

Inger's passion for storytelling started at the age of four, and she sold her first short story when she was 12 years old. In the early 1990s, she started her cinema studies, which earned her a bachelor’s degree at Stockholm University. Alongside her screenwriting career, she also earned a master’s degree in science, majoring in wildlife conservation. Her research is published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and on BBC Earth.

Inger’s crime debut Åtel (Carrion) was published in 2025, with the sequel Eter (Ether) published in 2026.
