Tejaswinee resides in West Bengal, India, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Law at the University of Calcutta. She writes fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction and captures the occasional photograph, one of which made it to a Stanchion cover. Incarnations, her collection of short stories, is part of the Mythic Picnic MPTSP V11: Collection, released in August 2025. Her fiction has been longlisted for the 2024 Wigleaf Top 50 and nominated for the 2022 Pushcart Prize and the 2025 BOTN Anthology. She is currently curating The Bare Book Bones of Speculative Fiction (Bare Bones, 2026). She has recent work in The Bayou Review, Blood+Honey and The Hoolet’s Nook. Her previous work has appeared in places like Muse India, Weekly Humorist, Taco Bell Quarterly, Broken Lens Journal, Fiery Scribe Review, Porch Lit, and more. These days, she finds solace in music, tarot and sleeping — not necessarily in that order.
