Meet the youngest fictional author of India, Disa Grandhi

 When Manohar Grandhi, an enthusiastic member of the Hyderabad Book Club, shared that his daughter wrote a book. It took me by a surprise. Writing a book is a difficult task. Writing, while managing school work must be difficult but the young author who also entered the India Book of Records did it. Meet Disa Grandhi, whom I had the pleasure of interviewing over email.  

Hi Disa, Why did you think of the book?

I wrote many stories in my storytelling class. So when I wrote my own stories this story was one of them. My parents encouraged me to write it in a book.

What resources did you go through while writing? 

I did not go through any resources to write this book. It is completely my own story.

How was writing benefitted you at school?

Now everyone in my school knows that I am a young author. My Principal Anju Madam, Supriya Madam, and my Class Teacher congratulated me when I met them personally.

 

How many books do you read in a month? 

I read 20 books per month.

Does you prefer physical books or electronic books?

I prefer physical books.

Any future projects, Disa?

I want to write a series but still didn't plan them yet.

Thank you so much! 

Her book is available here. We hope to have been Disas amongst us, reading and writing their own books.
