Divya Maniar On Writing Her First Novel And Growing Up Alongside It

For F ZINE’s latest issue, we asked five Gen Z creatives to interpret its theme, Coming of Age, through a personal essay. First up, author Divya Maniar: if you’re a reality TV junkie, you’ll want to keep an eye out for Maniar’s upcoming novel After Care. The 27‑year‑old Singapore‑born, London‑based author’s debut work – out this October – follows Grace, a has‑been reality star pulled back into the spotlight after tragedy befalls her former on‑screen rival. Consider it a dark and tender dive into what it’s like to desire love and attention in a world of artifice. Here, Maniar writes about watching her own creation grow up alongside her – and what her book’s protagonist has ultimately taught her about herself.
