Every month, in .@scroll_in. I'll unearth lost or forgotten books from the distant and not so distant past. This month, the blood and thunder stories by Louisa May Alcott.

In a lovely coincidence, the first installments of both my new monthly columns on books and reading are out on the same day!.

RT @the_hindu: This is a new column on popular fiction for the month, with room for thrillers and romance.✍🏽@SwatiDaftuar..

A space for discovery and discourse. How incredible that I get to help create it from scratch. Keep an eye out for the official announcement, though this one’s going to be an easy guess! 3/3.

Something essential and long overdue is brewing at @kunzum. It’s exactly what so many of us – readers, editors, book lovers – have longed for in the Indian book industry, which, more than anything else, needs more space – a space that honours its depth, diversity, and range. 2/3.

My work life is split (more or less neatly) between publishing books and writing about them. So, after yesterday's publishing update(!), I wanted to share some very happy writing news! 1/3.

July's started off well. Chuffed to start commissioning, acquiring, and editing books at @speakingtiger14. I've admired their list for such a long time and it's pretty wonderful to be able to contribute to it now =).

(3/3) given to it. There are enough great books out there that illustrate this, no? And to help build real reader-confidence and interest in genre-fiction in India? That's pretty much the dream. So if you've got an idea and would like to get in touch, I'm here to listen!.

(2/3) it's been wonderful to work with writers ready to explore structures & styles & the best way to tell a story, who don't mind taking apart & putting things together again till it's just right. Genre-fiction in India can be SO DARN GOOD if there's enough time and attention.

🧵We are still a few months from launching what my partners and I have been building for some time, & while we get that ready for the world (knee-deep in logistics right now =D), I've been working independently with genre-fiction authors on ideas, structure, plotting. And (1/3).
