Darianne Schramm grew up in Gainesville, Florida listening to the sounds of the woods and the music of Tom Petty. When she’s not writing stories about grief, love, and characters who are slightly nihilistic, you can find her eating the darkest possible chocolate and playing overly aggressive games of Scrabble. She has a BA in Philosophy from Elon University and her Masters from the University of Southern California where they reluctantly let her write her thesis on rock and roll lyrics. She is currently getting her PhD in New Zealand where she lives with her husband, daughter, and goldendoodle.

Her YA debut, 72 Hours Of You, comes out in 2026 with Disney Hyperion in the US, and Electric Monkey/HarperCollins in the UK. It will also be published in France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Portugal, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Croatia, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic.

Her Adult debut, The Eternal Deaths Of Hattie Gold, comes out in 2027 with Saturday Books/Macmillan in the US, and Hodderscape/Hachette in the UK.
