I'm Roma Agrawal, engineer, author, and broadcaster.

I studied physics and worked as a structural engineer in the construction industry for 15 years. A few years ago, I started writing because I wanted to present complex but amazing engineering stories in an exciting and engaging way.

My books!

BUILT: The Hidden Stories Behind our Structures

It won the AAAS / Subaru Award in the USA, and was shortlisted for the Jhalak Prize.

HOW WAS THAT BUILT? 

The beautiful, illustrated, best-selling (!) children's version, was long-listed for the Jhalak Prize.

NUTS & BOLTS: Seven Small Inventions that Changed the World (in a BIG way).

Is now ready for pre-order!

Here, in my bookshop, I'm sharing the books I'm passionate about. Science and Engineering of course, but as an IVF mum and avid reader, there's loads to choose from!
