Tashie Bhuiyan

TASHIE BHUIYAN is a twenty-year-old YA writer of contemporary and fantasy. Currently, she is an undergraduate student at St. John’s University in New York City, where she’s majoring in Public Relations. Born and raised in Queens, she’s been a New Yorker her entire life and grew up in the city that never sleeps. As a writer (and avid reader), she’s used to not getting that much sleep anyway.

Since she was 11, she’s been attempting her hand at telling stories. Her first novel was written in sixth grade and was an outstanding… six pages. From the middle grade summers spent in the library, where her mother used to work, to the high school years spent in the hallways of Bronx Science writing thousands and thousands of words that will thankfully never see the light of day, she’s developed an intense passion for the written word.

Nowadays, she can be found in either a bookstore or a Chipotle in midtown rambling about the ten billion book ideas in her head (or the latest meme she happened to come across on Twitter) using a significant amount of hand gestures. She is represented by the lovely JL Stermer at New Leaf Literary & Media, Inc.
