Some good news, applied for the South Asia Speaks mentorship late last year, and got in. I'm super excited to have [email protected] as a mentor and to get back to writing for adults! Thanks @soniafaleiro for doing this, and congrats to everyone who put a proposal together and applied :)

A story about Pulicat, displacement, mangrove plantation, worm poaching, and conservation. Thanks aditi Kartik Chandramouli for everything.

Super excited about this...

Can't remember the last time I had so much fun!

Over the past year I have received many requests from parents to look at their children's writing, provide feedback, help edit/mentor/publish their work. I have been asked for my editors' email ids so they can submit their kids work. The kids range in age from 6-16.

A super fun anthology that I get to contribute to, along with Neogi draws
