Editor in chief of Mildew Zine
I’m Avani Kashyap, a 16-year-old writer based in India. I’m the founder of Mildew Zine and a co-founder of The Wormhole Zine. I’m passionate about storytelling in all its forms, from quiet, character-driven fiction to thoughtful journalism. My work is often inspired by folklore, forgotten places, and the delicate line between reality and imagination. Through my writing and projects, I hope to create spaces where strange, beautiful stories can take root.
