Nisha Sharma is a South Asian YA and adult contemporary romance writer living in the Philly suburbs with her Alaskan husband, daughter, and a plethora of animals named after characters in literature. Her books have been included in best-of lists by The New York Times, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, Cosmopolitan, The Washington Post, Time Magazine and more. She is an advocate for marginalized authors in publishing, a PhD student in Literature and Social Justice, and a corporate executive leading global culture efforts in tech and pharma. When she’s not championing narratives about radical joy or teaching inclusivity, Nisha can be found napping because she’s always tired.
