Ali Hazelwood is the pen name of an Italian romance novelist and neuroscience professor.[1] Many of her works center on women in STEM fields and academia. Her debut novel, The Love Hypothesis, was a New York Times best seller.

Career

[edit]

Hazelwood's first novel, The Love Hypothesis, was published in September 2021.[2] It was on The New York Times Best Seller list for more than 40 weeks.[3][4] The story was originally written as Star Wars fan fiction about Rey and Kylo Ren, which Hazelwood first published on Archive of Our Own in 2018.[5] In 2020, Hazelwood was approached by a literary agent about the story, who then helped her prepare it for publication.[6]

In 2022, Hazelwood published her second full-length novel, Love on the Brain,[7] as well as three novellas: Under One Roof, Stuck with You, and Below Zero.[8] In 2023, Hazelwood compiled her three novellas into a book titled Loathe to Love You.[9] That same year, she released her third adult novel, Love, Theoretically,[8] as well as her first young adult novel, Check & Mate.[10] In 2024, she released the paranormal romance Bride.[11] Her seventh book, Not in Love, was released in June 2024.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Hazelwood was born and raised in Italy[6] and lived in Japan and Germany before moving to the United States to pursue her Ph.D. in neuroscience.[3][13] During her graduate study, Hazelwood researched brain simulation and cognitive neuroscience.[14]

Hazelwood worked as a professor up until 2023, when she took a break from academia to focus on her writing career.[3]
