Hello! And welcome to my official author page! Welcome to my own little place on the massive ocean called the internet!
Now, I'm not your regular teen. I'm a teen authorpreneur and blogger!
Writing to me, is not putting pretty words on paper, it's so much more than that! As a writer, I don’t just use words to describe what I see; I create stories and scenes that take the reader to somewhere new and unexpected.
To get a better sense of my work, please feel free to explore my official Author Page.
My work!
The following is a collection of my latest and most meaningful writing projects.
These include my books TRUCE (2021) and Tales of Twinkling Tweens (2019) !
Each piece is unique in style and content and represents a distinct moment in my career.
In fact TRUCE is my first time trying my hand at fiction. And I've fallen in love with it!
I hope you enjoy my work and I invite you to contact me with any questions and feedbacks.

Truce is a novel that explores the themes of friendship, love and self discovery in a fun way. The story revolves around 5 protagonists-Tiya, Ron, Udit, Cayra, and Edi, with each one of them facing their own challenges.
The story takes you through them fighting against and uplifting themselves from the issues and blooming into confident young adults. And they don’t do this alone. They do this through the power of friendship and relationships.
The story beautifully portrays the reality of today’s youth and provides a fresh perspective to the reader.
It’s all about finding the right people at the right time!

This book touches various aspects of a tween’s life. It takes the readers through school experiences—teachers, relationships with friends, experiencing bullying, examination pressure, annoying habits of tween boys and girls, their complex emotions and embracing many changes they undergo. Tweenage is the most crucial stage between childhood and adulthood. It is turbulent as well as a fun time of the life, which charters into unknown terrains of friendship, fun and pranks.
This is an awesome book for kids between the age of 9-12

Straight From My Pen is my blog on Instagram.
It aims to support reading and writing. In a world drifting away from books and literature, this blog encourages that.
It also raises awareness on global issues and advocates for change.
My story of being a teen authorpreneur
Growing up, I found my happy place among the pages of a book. Books helped me visit new worlds and were my medium for self expression. In fact, I read my first book at age 3!
And it was this love for reading that helped me find myself as a writer. The books I read in my childhood and continue to read are the reason I am a writer today.
It wasn't until 2015, that I decided to pick up the pen, at the age of 8. And i was the best decision I ever took.
Today, I find myself in the pages I write. I find myself in my characters, my stories.
Writing has given me liberty like nothing else would. It allows me to express myself, and the moments I spend with a pen in hand, are the best.
Everyday, I strive to be a better writer. To be a better storyteller, 'cause indeed I born to tell stories.

Testimonials
I am delighted to know and read your second book. I feel that you are a gifted writer. It’s difficult to believe that someone as young as 13 can do such a fantastic narration. Please accept my heartfelt congratulations for this milestone and I wish you loads of success for this book and in years to come.

If you want a book that enthrals, enlightens and is written sophisticatedly, then 'Truce' is just the one. Risha's first book, to my mind, may come in handy as an interactive resource for avid learners of the English language in school. Her second book looks equally promising, if not more. I wish her success in her endeavour.

Truce is a lovely book with some amazing yet strong teen characters. Risha has kept the book floating by adding ironies and conflict of nature. The book is easy to read and follow up with all characters. Language is cool, especially in the dialogue form. Many teenagers and adult guys will find this book highly relatable. Often books based on teenage characters are full of child-parent fight, madness, and rebel elements. Well this is different – a positive story awaits you.
