Hello, and Welcome

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I’m Heena R. Pardeshi—a writer, editor, writing coach and lifelong reader—and this website is where I’ll be bringing together the different parts of my writing life.

You’ll find reflections on books and storytelling, pieces about the writing process, thoughts from my years of editing and teaching writers, updates on my own books, and the occasional personal essay on the things that continue to shape the way I read, write and think.

I’ve been writing, reviewing, editing, teaching and talking about stories for more than a decade now, and it felt time to give all of those conversations a home of their own.

So, welcome.

I hope you’ll stay for the stories, the craft, the books, the questions, and everything that happens between the first sentence and the finished manuscript.

— Heena
