I write because it makes for a great excuse to skip gym sessions, wiggle out of social commitments, and on certain occasions, get by the entire day without showing any signs of life.

“I write to feel liberated, I write to feel alive, I write because my writings will live longer than I will and that is one hell of a motivation,” writes author Shravya Bhinder.

“I write about strong and independent female characters who don’t let anything stand in their way,” writes Apeksha Rao.

“I am motivated to explore the nature and existence of women in the chaotic present times and likely future as well as the challenges they face,” writes author Richa Gupta.

Hunted by the Sky brought magic and fantasy back into my life. All I had to do was embrace the culture I was born into.

Why I write is a mystery to me but I just know I need to write. As long as my readers keep reading me and keep traveling with me and my stories, I know I will keep writing and not think to much about it.

I write because I need to express this. This restlessness, hunger, ambition, joy, grief, sustenance, existential angst I’m feeling.

My books reflect only what I have seen in women. They are resilient, loving, stern, playful, and strong beyond measure

I write for the thrill of surprising myself with the twists and turns that my mind can make as I immersed myself in the act of writing.

I believe that lines of good and bad are blurred, and often we look at the world through the coloured lens of our personal experiences.
