About the Author
Almost Adult comes from 2021, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 24 and still producing coming-of-age work with no clear path to publication. Coming-of-age stories from an author who started writing at 10, had brain surgery at 15, and was a bestselling publisher before 25 — the material is not hypothetical.
