Shanti's Bio and Contact Information

Shanti Hershenson is your average seventeen-year-old in every way other than the myriad of books she has penned. On most days, you can find her in her room writing her next novel, likely cuddled up with her cats. When she isn’t writing, she is fangirling over whatever book she is currently reading, or freaking out over the latest enemies-to-lovers ship that everyone is obsessed with.

She lives in Southern California with her sister, three cats, and parents. She is a junior in high school.
