For My New York-Based Readers
I'll be speaking at the Indo-American Arts Council LitFest This Weekend
If you’re in New York this coming Saturday, please consider attending my event at the International House in Morningside Heights. I’ll be discussing Missy in conversation with Professor Makarand Paranjape. It’s a joint discussion that features another debut author, Nishanth Injam, who is a lovely person and a deep thinker. I was moved by his collection of short stories, The Best Possible Experience. He has limpid, precise prose and there is a depth of feeling, often grief and longing, in each of his stories.
This event is part of the Indo-American Arts Council’s 2024 Literary Festival. It is free to attend.
Event Details:
Date: Saturday, November 9
Time: 3:00 - 3:50 pm EST
Location: International House, 500 Riverside Drive, New York, NY 10027
Worth repeating. It’s free to attend. RSVP here in case the room fills - Link
Hope to see some familiar faces and meet new ones!
Also, don’t just come for me! Harini Nagendra, author of the Bangalore Detective Club Series is speaking, too. My kickass agent Priya Doraswamy is on an industry panel with an accomplished editor.
Please Review and Rate MISSY:
If you have read MISSY and enjoyed it, then please leave a review and rating on Goodreads and Amazon. You may think it inconsequential; nothing could be further from the truth. Every review helps me and my agent improve our pitch to US publishers.
