*Updated, short-form bio for sharing*
Shannon Chakraborty is the author of the critically acclaimed and internationally best-selling The Daevabad Trilogy. Her work has been translated into over a dozen languages and nominated for the Locus, World Fantasy, Crawford, and Astounding awards. When not buried in books about thirteen-century con artists and Abbasid political intrigue, she enjoys hiking, knitting, and re-creating unnecessarily complicated medieval meals. You can find her online at www.sachakraborty.com or on Twitter and Instagram at @SAChakrabooks, where she likes to talk about history, politics, and Islamic art. She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband, daughter, and an ever-increasing number of cats. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note for event managers: I prefer to go by Shannon during panels and interviews. My pronouns are she/her. |

**Please note, while Chakraborty is my last name, I'm a white convert to Islam; a faith and community that I've found great solace in and one that has significantly influenced my work. Though I prefer to keep much of my personal life private, particularly how it relates to my family, I've talked about my background in a number of interviews (here and here, in particular) if you're interested in reading more. - S.A.C.**
