Zuni Chopra is a 22-year-old Indian author with four published works. She released her first poetry collection at the age of 9 and her debut novel, The House That Spoke, at 15. She is most interested in magical realism and blurring the lines between our reality and our imagination. Her favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Madeline Miller, T.S. Eliot, and Lewis Carroll. She is currently an undergraduate at Stanford University, pursuing a BA in English with a concentration in Creative Writing.
Kaussar Tortay is a hopeful high school junior who has been writing casually since she was little. This is her first serious attempt at telling an original story. Drawing inspiration from her favorite lyricists and writers–Ryan Ross, Ray Bradbury, and Sophie Kinsella–she hopes to tackle larger projects one day. Her favorite genres are science fiction and slice-of-life and in her free time, she enjoys crocheting gifts for her loved ones.
