Dev Kothari

Dev Narvekar grew up in a sleepy hamlet near Mumbai, where she read obsessively, wrote furtively and daydreamed endlessly. She moved to London two decades ago and has worked as a Digital Technology consultant for over fifteen years. She won the Commonword Diversity YA novel prize in 2018 and her work has been listed for many other awards. She still reads obsessively and daydreams endlessly but has finally found the courage to write more openly after getting an MA, with distinction, in Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University. She now works as a writer and creative writing teacher.
