Chandrayarn: Wrimo India's Spin to the Moon!
In Feb 2021, an opportunity arrived for the Wrimo India Anthology to be sent to the Moon (and *loud screaming* to be read by future travellers to the Moon) which was grabbed whole-heartedly by the wrimos (wrimos are writers who write or have written a novel during NaNoWriMo).
The idea cropped up very close to the deadline but we wrimos are used to it. And being writers, we always have a story or two lying around which we can brush up and send off to the writing party. Of course, some wrote a new short story/flash fiction/poem in the 24-hour deadline.
This anthology is also path-breaking since it is the first multi-lingual anthology by Wrimo India (do check out the pieces written in Hindi and Marathi).
We ended up with 28 gorgeous pieces of writing which we are sharing with you in this book. There's romance, crime, horror, literary fiction, women's fiction, poetry, flash fiction...in fact, literally a banquet for you to quench your reading thirst.
Includes stories by:
Aksheeya Suresh - S. B. Akshobhya - Bisma Monem - Chitra Padmana - Dr. Manjusri Nair - Ermelinda Makkimane - Gayatri Gadre - Jyotsna Atre - Kavya Janani. U - L. A. Nolan - Manisha Sahoo - Mansi Karna - Nam Perugu - Neeraj SK - Pradnya Kosare - Prakash Hegade - Raj Kumar Balasubramaniyan - Rashmi Agrawal - Sadhana Wadhwa - Sanketa Wadhwa - Sapna Bhattacharya - Shaurya Chatwal - Shubhankar Sengupta - Siddesh Kabe - Sini Mathew - Sreeparna Sen - Suchira Nandi Purkayastha - Sonia Rao.

It is an exceptional amalgamation of beautiful short tales that ressonate deeply with the reader. Some tales cheer you up, some scare you to shot and some others are extremely motivational. Every tale is value adding. This is a must read for all those who love reading shorter fiction.

A lovely anthology that shows the range of writers that are a part of NaNoWriMo! To think some of these were written in just 24 hours 🤯 icing on the cake is seeing this collection on the moon 👏
