ABOUT ME

I’m janani, a sixteen-year-old who loves to write, draw and speculate about fandoms and books…

if you’re in the mood to read through thought-provoking poetry, walk in the shoes of someone else for a bit, laugh at some super funny stories…or possibly contemplate existence as a whole, then you’ve come to the right place!

currently, i’m also working on a podcast (or an audio diary), which is an attempt at rambling about my struggles with depression and anxiety. give it a listen!

you can write to me at janani.a.balaji@gmail.com!

MY PUBLISHED WORKS

i usually write short stories, fanfiction and poetry. i’m incredibly passionate about driving social change — my works revolve around gender bias, mental health, equality, hope, and then some…!

my short stories have even been featured in four anthologies! You can read them here and buy the books on Amazon.

my most special piece so far is my first story-in-verse notecard story, Thinking of You (available on amazon).

MY ART

my art is definitely mostly inspired by the cartoons, anime and manga that have inspired me to tell stories of my own.

“And did I pass?” The face of the old woman on my right was unreadable in the gathering dusk. On my left the younger woman said, “You don’t pass or fail at being a person, dear.”
