Priyanka Taslim is a writer represented by Quressa Robinson of Folio Literary Management. Priyanka writes swoony young adult and adult novels starring the Bengali characters she wishes she’d seen growing up.

OFFICIAL BIO:
Priyanka Taslim is a writer, teacher, and lifelong New Jersey resident.

Currently, Priyanka teaches by day and tells all kinds of stories about Bangladeshi characters by night. Her writing usually stars spunky Bengali heroines finding their place in the world…and a little swoony romance, too.
