Shanthi Sekaran, triple threat.

Shanthi Sekaran has many strings to her authorial bow. In addition to publishing the highly acclaimed novel, Lucky Boy, she has branched out into writing for younger readers (The Samosa Rebellion) and, just in case that wasn’t enough, now writes for TV, too. She’ll be part of the Unbound Authors in the Schools event on Friday and will also be in conversation with Eric Nguyen on Saturday. We can’t wait!

Shanthi Sekaran is a novelist and television writer. She most recently made her middle grade debut with The Samosa Rebellion (2021, Harper Kids), an Amazon Editor's Pick for readers aged 9-13. Her most recent adult novel, Lucky Boy, was named an Indie Next Great Read, an Amazon Editor's Pick and a Best Book of 2017 by NPR, Barnes & Noble, Library Journal and the San Francisco Chronicle. She recently left a teaching career to join the writers' room of the acclaimed NBC medical drama, "New Amsterdam". She lives in Berkeley, California with her family and a cat named Frog.
