Rashmi Agrawal (she/her) || Thriller Writer

Thank you 🤪 dreaming doesn't cost anything but daring moments 😂 now Granta. Who cares... Let it collect more rejections.

Long time, Sage. How are you?

Good luck with the story. I too subbed to Agni. It was just a daring act on my part. 😂 Still waiting for my rejection.

Writers, how did you decide your genre?

It took me several short stories to figure out, I was interested in writing thrillers.

I wrote a story that was thrilling with suspense elements and had fantastical angle too. That was the one… the guiding star to my preferred genre.

Yay, it feels amazing to be on this list. Congratulations to the other writers. 👏🏼

Thank you Nina

The long list is here!

Woohoo! Thrilled to see my story here. Congrats to everyone on the longlist! 🎉❤️

Excited to have made the longlist! Congrats to my fellow nominees.

Yay, it feels amazing to be on this list. Congratulations to the other writers. 👏🏼

3 rejections in 36 hrs.

2 for a flash piece from magazines. 1 on my psychological thriller novel query.

Writing life is hard. Exposing your writing to the world is harder. Querying your book is a different ballgame.

Feeling vulnerable and low. But I'll bounce back.
Cheers 🥂

Dear writers,

Do not ignore the power of rest. Listen to your body and take a break. A day, three days, or a week.

Nothing repairs a tired mind like rest, sleep, time with a book or nature, or just a dose of your fave mode of entertainment.

Raise your hand if you're also one of those who bookmarks every potential post to read later & don't go back to them until you need to clean the junk from every hulking database of screenshots, webpages, saved posts, and read-it-later piles.

And no, we aren't even thinking about that towering TBR.🙌🏼

What triggers you as a reader?

The Collective Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer

Learning to say no, one energy-draining thing at a time is the one thing on my annual to-do list.

How far have you reached in this #selfcare routine?

1. I’m a pro! 💪🏼
2. I’m trying 👍🏼
3. What? We can say no too? 🤔

India's weather is perfect to go out and about. Sunny with a nip of coolness. Just the right time to sit outside and read a book.

But writing beckons!

How's the weather in your side of the world?

🙏🏼🙏🏼

Sending you warm hugs!
