Priyanka Taslim is a Bangladeshi-American writer, teacher and lifelong New Jersey resident. 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 of the drama therein. Priyanka teaches 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. Her debut novel, The Love Match, is out in January 2023.
