About

Selinder Narwan lives in Glasgow. She was born in India, grew up in Romford, Essex and moved to Scotland in the 80s. Her writing journey began when she started writing  as a teenager, making up stories and characters that partly reflected on her life as a second- generation immigrant living in 1970’s East London. She kept it a secret, thinking that her parents would disapprove.

Her passion for writing was re-ignited many years later when family and work commitments eased and she joined her local writing group in 2022. She attended evening classes in creative writing at Strathclyde University and began writing what was to become her first novel. It won the Constable prize at the Scottish Association of Writers in 2025.

She’s fascinated with writing about the past but is also intrigued with the future and all the connections in between. When not writing she likes to spend time with family but is usually still thinking about writing. She’s a Citizen Historian for the 1947 Partition Archives and also a member of GSFWC (Glasgow Science Fiction Writers’ Circle).
