Hello readers,

On 24th December 2022, we held our second Annual Meet in Visakhapatnam at Shivaji Park, which eight artists attended. Annual Meets by design are held to get all creative minds to know each other.

During this meeting, artists met their fellow collaborators in person, shared their common interests, and spoke about books & movies. When discussing ways to improve the community, the suggestions were to increase writer-editor collaboration, invest more in audio stories, and encourage diversity in ideas & genres.

Though most of the suggested ideas are currently being worked on, there were inputs that we should plan about in due course.​ We also have many more ideas in the pipeline for 2023, and we hope our readers find them interesting. We thank you for your time and wish you take care and stay safe.

Regards,
WP Team

Hello readers,

With a change in the vision and a reduction in the number of collaborations to focus more on the quality of each work, the WP Team will have the same titles as last year, namely Publisher, Co-Publisher, Content Manager, Business Administrator, and Marketing Manager. However, we intend to keep it to five members with a few members altered.

With that said, the new WP Team comprises R. S. Chintalapati as Publisher, Nikhila Kotni as Co-Publisher, Aastha Agrawal as Content Manager, Nikhileshwari Penugonda as Business Administrator and Laasya Kannepalli as Marketing Manager.

We would also like to sincerely thank Edlyn D’souza, Sreekar Ayyagari, P. C. Ravuri, & Gayatri Sharma for all their work in making 2022 a smooth ride. With the projects under even more scrutiny in terms of quality and hoping to raise the bar even higher in literature, the new WP Team is trying to put its best foot forward. Hoping for the best, as always!

Regards,
WP Team 2022
