Tejaswinee Roychowdhury resides in West Bengal, India, and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Law at the University of Calcutta. She writes fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and captures the occasional photograph, one of which made it to a Stanchion cover. Incarnations, her collection of short stories, will be a part of the Mythic Picnic MPTSP V11:Collection 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 upcoming work in Blood+Honey and The Hoolet’s Nook. Her recent 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.
