My Story
Hey, I'm Swati. Bangalore girl, 29, writing desi romance and YA, living for the drama and the feels. I was that nerdy kid scribbling novels for friends and celebrating rejection letters - weird, I know. Amma saying 'proud of you, beta' still makes me tear up. Came out as bi after reading one queer romance, now I’m all about unapologetic queer joy in my books. Disaster bi, karaoke addict, tea over coffee, big dreams, messy heart.
My Work
Desi Romance & YA Author - I write slowburn desi romance and young adult stories, big on heart and humor, low on spice.
Tropes & Vibes - Love friends to lovers, rivals to lovers, fake dating. Indian and Indian-American characters, lots of yearning.
Queer Romcoms - My queer YA romcoms cheer for unapologetic queer joy, inspired by pop culture and my own journey.
Fiction Writing Coach - Been through the trenches, got a 5-book deal. I help writers with drafts, edits, and surviving publishing.
