Dear Supporters, 

Recently, The Bombay Review launched ‘The Workshop Series’, where accomplished professionals were invited to teach aspiring writers and poets. With your support, they plan to utilise funds towards more such literary events and workshops. 

The first of these workshops are about Writing Poetry. The next series of workshops will focus on topics such as short-Fiction, Script Writing, Mental Health in Literature, Performing Spoken Word Poetry and Creating Art for Fiction and so on. The founders aim to hold many more such events. 

Huda Merchant, Editorial Director for The Bombay Review explains the need for free and accessible literature in India. She says, “Literature opens up minds and ideas. Good literature is important in bringing people together, and opening their minds. Literary magazines in India are only read by a select few of the ‘literary crowd’ and aspiring writers. India lacks literary magazines, like Tin House or a Granta. The Bombay Review aspires to change that, and hopes to evolve into a magazine that is read across the world, and has quality content. An India that is increasingly reading online needs to have literary magazines to support its books and literary culture.” 

The editors thank you for your contribution and have requested for your continued support to reach their funding goal. 

Thank you.
