Claudia: What’s your story? How did you get where you are today?

Debadrita Sarkar: “I have started writing when I was twelve years old. I have started by writing three short poems in Bengali, my mother tongue. But it was only at thirteen, I started writing more passionately . I had written a detective novella, which was loved by one of my mother’s colleague. After that I also won an editor’s choice award in an International writing competition for my poem, written in Bengali. Though I have started my literary career with an amount of success, later I have got many rejections from many magazines while publishing.”
