She/Her
Priya is the Founder & Lead Coordinator of The Veranda, as well as Editor-in-Chief of Masalazine, our literary magazine. She started this community after watching yet another show misrepresenting South Asians, and decided to find writers who could change how South Asian characters get written. Other passionate wordsmiths joined her, and now we hang out on our virtual veranda with all of you talking shop about books, community, and writing. Priya enjoys painting, hiking, reading, watching Korean dramas, hiking, napping, and hiking. When she’s not being a wood nymph in the forests of upstate New York, she is an Assistant Professor of Writing at Ithaca College.
