Ananya Devarajan is the author of KISMAT CONNECTION, which was released by Inkyard Press and HarperCollins Publishers on June 13th, 2023. She is a recent graduate of the University of California, Irvine, where she majored in Neurobiology and Behavior and minored in English, and currently resides as a first-year medical student at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in Middletown, New York. Like many of her characters, Ananya is a second-generation Indian American young adult.

Her love for storytelling began on Wattpad, where she grew her audience as a Featured Author, and she later went on to win first place in TeenPit 2019. Now, Ananya writes young adult romance novels featuring chaotic Desi teenagers, swoon-worthy banter, and lighthearted drama with a speculative twist. In her free time, she can be found watching her favorite Bollywood movies or studying for yet another Anatomy exam.
