I write stories that are high on slowburn and low on spice, with plenty of heart and humor.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/763068c6-eda6-4434-9f83-1b4a92dc3791) ## About My Books & Stories Writing isn't just about putting words on a page; it is about the messy, unglamorous reality of the author's life that feeds them. Each of these stories, from my debut *Match Me If You Can* to my upcoming queer YA projects, started as a tiny, chaotic idea I scribbled down while drinking too much tea, stressing over deadlines, or dealing with the rejection letters that come with the territory. Becoming a published author was not a straight line. It was a path paved with over 400 rejections across six different manuscripts before I finally signed with Penguin Random House. That journey is why I write the way I do. I want to tell stories that feel like home—desi stories filled with family expectations, vibrant culture, and the kind of slowburn romance that makes you want to throw your book across the room in frustration (and then immediately pick it up again). My stories explore tropes I personally love: friends-to-lovers, fake dating, and rivals-to-lovers. Whether it is a magazine writer in Mumbai or a teenager navigating an anxiety-filled coming-out story, my characters are always messy, flawed, and trying their best. I believe in representation, especially when it comes to unapologetic queer joy in Young Adult literature. Seeing myself and my experiences reflected in stories is what kept me going when I was just a nerdy kid scribbling in notebooks. If you are looking for your next read, I hope you find something in these pages that makes you laugh, cry, or just feel a little less alone. ## About Swati Hegde I’m a Bangalore-based author who thrives on matcha, cats, and the kind of romance novels that make you feel everything. I spent years scribbling stories in notebooks before finally landing my book deal, and now I’m here to share those worlds with you.
