Anahita Karthik (she/her) is a desi, queer, and multilingual writer of stories heavily inspired by Indian mythology, history, and culture. She has an MSt in Creative Writing from University of Cambridge and a tech degree she’ll probably never use in her life. While she writes across genres, her stories usually include road trips, a slow burn romance, and nods to Indian cinema (both explicit and thematic). 'Better Catch Up, Krishna Kumar' is her debut novel, but her first feature was in 'My Big, Fat Desi Wedding' anthology. She can be found posting excessively across platforms @ana_scribe or blogging about publishing on her website www.anahitakarthik.com. Anahita is represented by the wonderful Rebecca Podos at Neighborhood Literary. ...more
