Nish Amarnath is an American journalist and an author of three books. Her latest bestselling novel, Victims For Sale (HarperCollins) was nominated for the Mumbai Film Festival Word-to-Screen Award and recognized by the U.S. State Department as an oeuvre that brought to light the stark realities of human trafficking involving differently abled women.

Wade to LGBTQ+ rights, colorism, and mental health. In 2017, she was featured as an outstanding journalist on the Hall of Fame as part of the AMMYs Awards across North America.
