Arianna Siddiqui has always been a storyteller. From telling her siblings and cousins made-up scary stories in their grandmother’s walk-in closet to completing her full-length novel, she has been fascinated by how words can weave together a new reality. That fascination led her to pursue a Bachelor's in Political Science from Trinity University. After quickly realizing politics wasn’t for her, Arianna earned a publishing certificate from the Columbia Publishing Course at the University of Oxford.

As a Pakistani-Indian-American young adult author (say that three times fast!),  Arianna is passionate about portraying the experiences of South Asian teenagers and exploring themes of love and mental health in her writing. She delights in crafting narratives that allow her characters to discover the love they deserve while navigating the complexities of their cultural heritage and its subsequent expectations.
