Ali Hazelwood is the pen name of an Italian romance novelist and neuroscience professor based in the United States.[1][2][3] 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.[4] It was on The New York Times Best Seller list for more than 40 weeks.[5][6] 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.[7] In 2020, Hazelwood was approached by a literary agent about the story, who then helped her prepare it for publication.[8]
In 2022, Hazelwood published her second full-length novel, Love on the Brain,[9] as well as three novellas: Under One Roof, Stuck with You, and Below Zero.[10] In 2023, Hazelwood compiled her three novellas into a book titled Loathe to Love You.[11] That same year, she released her third adult novel, Love, Theoretically,[10] as well as her first young adult novel, Check & Mate.[12] In 2024, she released the paranormal romance, Bride.[13] Her seventh book, Not in Love, was released in June 2024.[14]
Personal life
[edit]Hazelwood was born and raised in Italy[8] and lived in Japan and Germany before moving to the United States to pursue her Ph.D. in neuroscience.[5][15] During her graduate study, Hazelwood researched brain stimulation and cognitive neuroscience.[16]
Hazelwood worked as a professor up until 2023, when she took a break from academia to focus on her writing career.[5]
