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, investing more in audio stories and encouraging 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.
