Long Bio (209 words)

Natasha Siegel is a writer of historical fiction, fantasy, and romance. She was born and raised in London, where she grew up in a Danish-Jewish family surrounded by stories.

She studied English and History at the University of York, and she has an MA in Early Modern Studies from University College London, where her research specialised in Anglo-Jewish and colonial history in the 17th century. Her studies inspired a passion for historical narratives and folklore: her novels interweave magic and real-world settings to tell stories about queer, Jewish, and otherwise marginalised characters throughout history. She has a particular fondness for Early Modern tragedy and romance, which have informed much of her work, including her first fantasy novel, As Many Souls as Stars: a sapphic historical fantasy inspired by the Faustus legend. She lives in North-West London with her partner and spends her spare time chasing after the family dog, a rescue lurcher named Cleo.

Natasha's poetry has won accolades from Foyle's and the University of Oxford. She has published two acclaimed historical novels with Penguin Random House US. Her US debut, Solomon's Crown, was a NYT editor's choice. As Many Souls As Stars releases October 2025 with Bloomsbury UK / William Morrow US and is her UK and fantasy debut.
