Chelsea Abdullah is an American-Kuwaiti writer born and raised in Kuwait, where she grew up listening to stories about mysterious desert creatures and wily (only sometimes likable) heroes. Consumed by wanderlust, she has put down roots in various states. After earning her Master of Arts in English at Duquesne University, Abdullah moved to New York, where she currently lives. When not immersed in her own fictional worlds, she spends her free time playing video games, doodling characters and hoarding books she does not have the shelf space for. Abdullah’s debut novel, “The Stardust Thief,” is featured at the 2022 National Book Festival.
