Born in West Algeria on November 26, 1991, Houda Darwish lived with two parents working as teachers, the father an Arabic teacher, the mother a French teacher. Because of her family situation, she was opened up to a wide variety of cultures and a mix between the Arabic and French literature. She pursued her medicinal studies between French and Algerian university, currently as a pediatrician and neonatologist.

At the age of sixteen, once she settled down in Cairo, Darwish presented her first novel titled "Amal...A Love Looking for a Homeland" (In Arabic: آمال... حب يبحث عن وطن). It was written in a poetic style with political bravado. It talked about a journey of a Palestinian musician between the roads of politics, espionage, and exile. Publishing works on a range of controversial issues, Darwish is well known by being literary affected by Jubran Khalil Jubran, Nizar Qabbani, and Mahmoud Darwish (supposedly, the latter man is the reason she chose Darwish as a last name for herself). Huda Darwish continues her success by publishing sequels. Justifying her transition between poetry and prose, the ex editor-in-chief of Rose al-Yūsuf, Essam Abdel-Aziz, said "Houda Darwish is a creative woman whose writing made us come back to the belle epoque."
