Darianne Schramm is an internationally bestselling author who 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, she can be found 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 lives in New Zealand with her husband, daughter, and goldendoodle.

Her YA debut, 72 Hours Of You, released in 2026 with Disney Hyperion in the US, where it was selected for Indies Introduce and Indies Next. It released with Electric Monkey/HarperCollins in the UK, where it was designated a Waterstones Children’s Perfect Paperback. It has been translated in more than twelve languages and is a Spiegel Bestseller in Germany.

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