PRATIKSHA KARN

There was a time when I thought I will quit writing because I was always told to study well and get job. For a middle-class family, Government service tops every other job. But I am glad, I never gave up. Initially, I funded my work with small amounts and with the time I got many awards and accolades. Working with the local press has also been a source of income. I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree along with writing.

It all started 4 years ago/ I used to post my scribbles and thoughts on my social media profile and one well-known writer approached me to write few poems for his book. Gradually, I gained confidence and published my first poetry book THE LOCKED EPISODE on 2018 at the age of 19.
Slowly it gained public interest and was listed as an Amazon bestseller book in 2019. With time I appeared in more than 10 anthologies and went on to winning several awards.

The best feeling is when the readers are able to relate to my writing and my focus has been on matters of social importance. I always believe that working on your dreams and staying strong despite circumstances is the best way to deal with those who are keen to discourage you.
