OFFICIAL BIO:
Priyanka Taslim is a writer, teacher, and lifelong New Jersey native.
Having grown up in a bustling Bangladeshi diaspora community, surrounded by her mother’s entire clan and many aunties of no relation, her writing often features families, communities, and all the drama therein.
Currently, Priyanka teaches 9th grade English by day and tells all kinds of stories about Bangladeshi characters by night. Her writing usually stars spunky Bangladeshi heroines finding their place in the world…and a little swoony romance, too. THE LOVE MATCH, out now from Salaam Reads, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, is her debut YA novel and has been praised in mediums such as Teen Vogue, USA Today, Pop Culturalist and more. It was a Junior Library Guild gold standard selection and one of Amazon’s best young adult novels of January 2023. Her adult debut, FROM MUMBAI, WITH LOVE, will be published by St. Martin’s Griffin, and she has future novels in the works with both publishers.
