Aashna Avachat

Aashna Avachat is an author, lawyer, and literary agent. She's passionate about uplifting marginalized voices in publishing and supporting creators of color. When she’s not writing, she’s probably reading on a sunny patch of grass, going on long walks to grocery stores, or being cozy with one of her many foster cats.

Aashna is the author of LOVE CRAVES CARDAMOM, a YA romcom from Electric Postcard Entertainment's Love In Translation series, out from Random House/Joy Revolution now (out now!), and the editor of STUDY BREAK, a YA college anthology from Macmillan / Feiwel & Friends (get your copy here!) Her debut dark academia murder mystery MISCHIEF GIRLS comes out in Fall 2026 (Random House/Delacorte), and her second romantic comedy HOW TO FAKE A LOVE STORY comes out in Winter 2027 (Penguin Workshop).
