Shreya Mathur is sixteen years old and lives in Mumbai. She was born in Ahmedabad and has lived in Ajmer, Baroda and Mumbai. She is a student of St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. But Ira Said was unabashedly written during her pre-board study leave when she was fifteen. Her hobbies - apart from writing fan mail - include painting, calculus and rereading books. This is her first novel.
