About Me
Hello! I’m Divya Ghelani - a writer of novels, short stories, flash fiction, and articles.
I am working on two novels, a TV series, (and as always), short/micro stories. Check out my Current Projects page and browse this website for more about me.
I also lead creative writing workshops, edit manuscripts, and do ad hoc copywriting for businesses and agencies.
This October 2024, I will embark on 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.
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 UK and Berlin.
