Lipi Mehta, one of the writers and also the editor of the book, is a geeky 22-year-old, who believes reading a lot is essential for better writing, while the others are either still in college or are regular bloggers, publishing their stories for the first time.
“This is my first experience in editing a book and I must say I am very excited excited. But working on it was not easy, as though I have been writing since I was very young, couple of my stories were rejected before they selected this one,”
says Mehta.
