So. Ahem. Well. In case you missed the announcements on my Twitter and Instagram, this happened last week:
Yep, you read that right. Iโm going to be a published author! My debut desi rom-com novel, MATCH ME IF YOU CAN, comes out sometime in 2024 from Ballantine Bantam Dell, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
Set in Mumbai, India, MATCH ME IF YOU CAN is my love letter to Jane Austen, unsolicited relationship advice, and the womenโs dating magazines I was obsessed with in high school. If youโre ready for a fun frenemies to lovers romance with all the chaotic, unhinged Clueless vibes, please add my book on Goodreads here.
My next few newsletters will talk about the usual writing and querying tips, but over the course of this coming year, Iโll start sharing more of my publishing journey with you. So if youโd like to share this newsletter with your friends, please do that below.
Iโll talk to you soon! BRB, off to squeal some more!!!!!
PS: Iโm offering query critiques to 5 more fiction authors for as low as $39. DM me on Twitter if youโre querying literary agents and would like one!
Love hard & dream big,
Swati ๐
