Here’s what people said they loved about us!

Eclectic, international, multigenre, spectacular production team, wide and thrilling collections of material accompanied by valuable weekly features!

Ankit and Tejaswinee are ambitious and seem to be pulling it off, even though they both have other work they must do. It’s high quality, they interact with their creative contributors, and they publish a wide variety of good work. And they are writers themselves, and understand the problems getting published. They can’t pay (yet) but have no fees, and the results are excellent.

So many – lightning-fast response times, grounded, kind, and dedicated editors, great breadth of work, especially from the Asian community, seamless comms, true to the values of diversity, community, transparency, and equity. With their keenness on creating a space of acceptance and creative expressions for all artists and works (even those that are “not fully cooked but shows potential”) makes every THR issue feel like a book or an anthology, rather than an issue. They’re probably the only magazine that does that.

Absolutely wonderful, supportive, kind editors. Fast responses. Clear and open communication. Respectful editorial process. Based in India, global reach and perspective.

A very young literary outing with editors who are so passionate, energetic, they don’t sleep I think, exceptionally well produced and curated for someone who is only on their 2nd edition, they are world class.
