Roshani Chokshi (born February 14, 1991) is an American children's book author and a New York Times bestselling author.[2]

Personal life[edit]

Chokshi's mother is Filipino and her father is Indian,[3] both immigrants to the United States.[4] She grew up speaking English,[3] rather than her parents' native languages, Tagalog and Gujarati.[5] Chokshi was raised as a Hindu, which she often draws on in her novels.[5] Her first novel sold while she attended law school[3] at the University of Georgia, and she ultimately dropped out to pursue writing.[6] She cites Neil Gaiman as one of her influences to pursue a writing career.[7]

Chokshi lives in Georgia, US.[8]

Career[edit]

Chokshi's first young adult novel, novel The Star-Touched Queen, was published by St. Martin's Press in 2016.[9] Her second young adult novel, A Crown of Wishes, is set in the same world and was published in 2017.

All of Chokshi's first novels in her series debuted on the New York Times bestseller list.[9][10][11]

Her middle grade debut, Aru Shah and the End of Time, was the first title to launch[12] under author Rick Riordan's Disney-Hyperion imprint,[13] Rick Riordan Presents, in 2018. In April 2018, it was announced that Paramount Pictures won the movie rights, at auction, for Aru Shah and the End of Time.[14] The Aru Shah series was originally intended to be four books long, but later discussions between Chokshi and the imprint led to the series being extended to end with fifth book, that was released in 2022.[15]

The Gilded Wolves was published in 2019, the first novel of a trilogy and the start of Chokshi's second young adult series.[16]

The Spirit Glass published in 2023, is a stand-alone title released by Rick Riordan Presents.[17]
