“A writer often writes because they feel they have to, for some reason or another, but a storyteller writes because they have a hundred stories sitting inside them, waiting to burst. At the end of the day, you should write because you want to tell this story, because you need to tell this story, because there’s no way you can keep going without telling this story.”

Tashie Bhuiyan is a Bangladeshi American writer based in New York City. She recently graduated from St. John’s University with a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations, and hopes to change the world, one book at a time. She loves writing stories about girls with wild hearts, boys who wear rings, and gaining agency through growth. When she’s not doing that, she can be found in a Chipotle or bookstore, insisting 2010 is the best year in cinematic history. (Read: Tangled and Inception.)
