Riven Noor

Riven Noor is a writer, storyteller, and mental health survivor whose work holds space for the tender, the traumatic, and the quietly transformative. After more than a decade walking the long and often lonely corridors of emotional struggle, she has come to understand that healing isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken—it’s about learning to sit with what aches, with compassion, honesty, and presence.

Her debut novel, The Asylum of Her Own Mind, is a lyrical journey through an inner landscape shaped by fear, silence, and survival. It is a descent into haunting rooms and forgotten voices—but also a rising. A story of reclaiming voice, agency, and self, told in metaphors stitched from pain and poetry. At its heart, it is a love letter to the possibility of becoming.

She is also the creator of The Emotionally Aware Mind Journal—offered in a 60-day paperback and 30-day printable eBook on itch.io. This journal is a quiet refuge for anyone feeling overwhelmed, lost, or slowly coming undone. Through simple grounding practices and reflective prompts, it gently calls you back to yourself—one breath, one page, one moment at a time.

Everything she creates is rooted in lived experience and one enduring truth:

That no one should have to carry their pain alone.

That stories can become shelter.

That still being here is not just survival—it is a kind of quiet triumph.
