Anitha Krishnan

Hello, there!

I write fantasy fiction with a dash of mysticism and soul-searching. Deities and dreams, loss and longing, grief and gallantry, hiraeth and heartbreak, all make frequent appearances in my stories and poems.

Dying Wishes, my contemporary fantasy novel set in Canada and inspired by Hindu Gods and South Indian folklore, was a Finalist for the 2023 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize in the Speculative Fiction category.

I have lived in and left pieces of my heart in many places across the world including Singapore, Australia, Canada, and most of all in my birthplace, India. I presently live in Burlington, Ontario with my darling husband and our cherished child.
