A monthly desk where Indian books still get a long review.

The Literary Mirror

The Literary Mirror is an English-language magazine of art, literature and culture. It began as a monthly around 2019 and still runs interviews, cover stories, poetry and book notes — debut writers on the same table as names that already sell. Editor-in-chief Nitish Raj has used this space for special issues on Indian books and writers. The sister site theliterarymirror.in carries the live issue stream; this address keeps the masthead, the sections, and how to send a title.
