Nanda Reddy is a Guyanese-American writer, former teacher, and part of an enormous extended family who mostly live in Florida—her father is one of seventeen siblings; her mom is one of nine; and she has over fifty first cousins. In her teaching days, she co-wrote 180 Days to Successful Writers, a daily writing curriculum best suited for elementary classrooms. She loves visiting off-the-grid places (national parks!) with her husband and two teenage boys, and she sometimes messes around with watercolors to clear her mind. The internet doesn’t think she exists because, being easily distracted, she turned it off to write; she’s trying to change that because she’s thrilled to debut A Girl Within A Girl Within A Girl.
