Krushna Dande is a writer and artist living in New Delhi. He is a graduate of the Clarion West Writers Workshop 2025 and has been awarded the AC Bose Grant for Speculative Literature. He enjoys carrying a sketchbook and a lump of clay every day for drawing with friends and strangers. He enjoys the way an idea falls from the sky, still warm from the lathe. He enjoys reading, twitchy and marionette-like, in an unfamiliar language. He enjoys being awash in music until birds stir in the blue dawn. He is writing a novel that he very much hopes you will one day read.
