Aashna Avachat graduated from UC Berkeley in Spring 2020 with a B.A. in English and is an editorial assistant at Andrea Brown literary agency. She also acts as a Program Manager for DVmentor—a publishing mentorship initiative for marginalized authors offered by Diverse Voices, Inc.—and a Pitch Wars mentor and alum. When she’s not writing, she’s probably reading on a sunny patch of grass, going on long walks to grocery stores, or being cozy with one of her many foster kittens. Aashna currently lives in Washington, DC.
