From firsts to most recent, small-scale to large; I believe in celebrating every step forward. All the publications listed here are special to me and have served as important epochs for me to learn from as a (trying) writer. Still learning to power through (too-frequent) writing blocks and well, life, this is very much a work-in-progress.

As Publisher
Nov 2018 | Indigo Rain by Kelsey McRae. Bombadil Publishing (also copy editor)
We published 18-year-old Kelsey’s ebook on customised USB sticks, launched
at The Council Chamber in Inverness, Scotland on 17th November 2018.
My first project in Scotland and within a transnational team, I am proud and attached to the three issues I have been involved
with in the capacity of editor (right), manager (centre), and author (left). Not only did it present me with a step into the
literary and publishing community in Scotland; it also helped me engage with an entirely new and diverse creative market.

to learn from. It has involved work on putting together and managing an editorial team; producing print, digital, and online editions; and
supporting the literary community through events like writing contests, book clubs, movie screenings, academic talks, and launch events.

Delhi-based anthology DU Love was my first significant publication as an author.
Scotland-based Gutter Issue 18 has been a major publication milestone. Featuring on the cover alongside
Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o and Nicola Sturgeon picking up a copy still make this a near-surreal experience.
