S B Divya



S.B. Divya is a lover of science, math, fiction, and the Oxford comma. She enjoys subverting expectations and breaking stereotypes whenever she can. In her past, she's used a telescope to find Orion's nebula, scuba dived with manta rays, and climbed to the top of a thousand year old stupa. At present, her jobs include writing, engineering, and being the family calendar keeper. She is a lapsed physics major who holds degrees in Computational Neuroscience and Signal Processing.

Her short fiction has appeared in Daily Science Fiction and Nature. Her first standalone book is Runtime, a novella.

Obstetrix (2026)
Naomi Kritzer
"Obstetrix is a compelling medical thriller that examines what it takes to survive in a situation beyond one's control. The story tackles trauma, abortion, and religious extremism with warmth and a light touch but also doesn't shy away from the seriousness of these topics. Kritzer has crafted a gripping and propulsive read that's hard to put down!"

Salvagia (2025)
Tim Chawaga
"This near future novel weaves together elements of murder mysteries, thrillers, and found families into a propellant-fueled page turner of a plot. Along the way, Chawaga's debut presents a critique of many present-day issues while avoiding a descent into total dystopianism, leaving the reader with a satisfyingly bittersweet finish."

Interstellar MegaChef (2024)
(Flavour Hacker, book 1)
Lavanya Lakshminarayan
"If The Great British Baking Show and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had a child, it would be Interstellar MegaChef."
