Shreya K

She ultimately combined her two grand passions for life and people by graduating with degrees in philosophy and journalism, giving her a platform to tell reflective and empowering stories. Her work has been published in VICE, Huffpost, The Independent, and others. She’s also a yoga teacher, poet, self-certified philosopher, and a firm believer of savoring every bit of life till its very last drop.

Konrad S
My passion for writing started when I returned to school, planning to study psychology. In an English class, we read Hills Like White Elephants by Hemingway, and that story ignited my love for fiction. I earned my bachelor’s in English and began writing short stories of my own. While working on my first novel, I had the opportunity to study fiction writing at Columbia, where I earned my master’s. I’ve dedicated my life to literature and writing, and this is the passion I would bring to writing your story.
