About Me
Hello! I’m Divya Ghelani - a writer of novels, short stories, and articles.
I am working on two novels, and am undertaking an AHRC CHASE-funded PhD in Literature and Creative Writing at The University of East Anglia in Norwich, supervised by Tessa McWatt and Anshuman Mondal. Check out my Current Projects page and browse this website for more about me.
I am available to lead creative writing workshops, edit manuscripts, and do ad hoc copywriting for businesses and agencies.
Biography
I was born in Jamnagar, Gujarat, and grew up in Loughborough, Leicestershire. I hold a First Class BA in English Studies, an MA in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia, and an MPhil in Literary Studies from the University of Hong Kong (where I wrote a thesis on British school fiction and plays from the 1950s to the present day, the initial inspiration for my first novel). I live between the UK and Berlin.
