Akshay Sonthalia

I began writing in the year 2005. My poem, 'A Devil's Workshop' was published in the school magazine, then in 2006.

I've been a host and I conducted poetry open mics from 2013-2022

I enjoy writing blurbs, sentences constructed out of word prompts, poems, short stories, screenplays (sometimes) , but my journey began by writing poems.

I was a columnist in national and regional tabloids in India.

I've been a guest speaker to many literature festivals and book fairs too.

I've turned publisher since 2010, via my imprints called 'Poets Choice' and 'Free Spirit'.

I recently published my book - Sparks Before The Fire, which is a glimpse into the main title, to follow and release soon.
