(she/they)

Over a decade of having edited at Siyahi, Roli Books, Tara Press/Red Ink Literary Agency, and Pan Macmillan India, Kanika has found that making books isn’t as glamorous as buying them or as dreamy as reading them. But this reality has only sucked her deeper into the industry.

​

Someday, Kanika will present her own angry prose to the world, but until then, her empathy for the writing process makes her beloved among her authors. And though she will read anything even remotely engaging, it wouldn’t be unfair to call her a literary snob. Do not try to seduce her with just clever turns of phrase; give her sincere, heartfelt stories and well researched non-fiction.
