Pritika Rao

I am an economist and freelance writer from Bangalore, India. My work has been shortlisted for the 2022 Commonwealth Short Story Prize. My work has also appeared in The Times of India, Deccan Herald, Soup Magazine, The Bangalore Review, The Swaddle, The Alipore Post and elsewhere. In 2018, I won second prize in the Sunday Herald short story competition. A story I have written has been featured in the HBB Micro Fiction Anthology: Selected Top Entries. Two of my short stories will be anthologised later this year with The Written Circle and with Aleph Book Company.
