Varsha Tiwary
Varsha Tiwary considers writing a tool to authentic living—a way to catch small, fleeting, butterfly-like moments of truth in a net of words. Varsha has lived in various parts of India and, during her two-year sabbatical in DC, explored local writing groups. Her stories, memoir, and essays appear on the 2017 DNA-Out Of Print short fiction shortlist and in Kitaab, the Basil O'Flaherty, Muse India, Jaggery Lit, Manifest-Station, Spark, Usawa Literary Review, Café Dissensus, Emerge, and Kaani. Her piece is also forthcoming in DC’s Gargoyle Magazine. She is currently working on a fiction project.
