Stories with haunt, heritage, and heart-swoon

Born to a book-loving mother and movie-loving father, Naya Graham grew up obsessed with story. With a film major and screenwriting background, she now spends her time writing speculative fiction stories to stir feelings and inspire magic. When not writing or curled up with a book, she can be found sipping chai, faux conducting to Lorne Balfe, and organising her life through yet another spreadsheet.

She’s a proud alumni of New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young’s Writing with the Soul.

A gothic-infused young adult fantasy, THE INK WE BLEED, with editor interest from S&S/McElderry and Little, Brown. An orphan whose heart can resurrect the dead must choose between the family she lost and the one she could still save. Querying soon.

Naya is always excited to connect with fellow readers, writers, and other creatives. Find her on Instagram, Bluesky, or on Substack, where she shares writing updates, industry thoughts, and insights on her process.
