The Lit Bug Fest 2024

April 5, 2024 by Varsha Seshan

Brought to you by THE STORY STATION, this Pune-based literature festival celebrates creativity and innovation. The theme for Lit Bug 2024 is art in literature, and I am going to be there with my book, Uncontrollable, my fantasy novel in verse. What is a novel in verse? What is free verse? Explore poetry with me, and write poems of your own as I take you to Kallua, the capital of the Powered World.
Using two excerpts from Uncontrollable as mentor texts, we will write a pair of poems, exploring an emotion, or perhaps something fantastical.

Bookaroo is going to Srinagar, and I’m going to be part of it!

The Lit Bug Fest 2023

April 7, 2023 by Varsha Seshan

Brought to you by THE STORY STATION, this Pune-based literature festival celebrates creativity and innovation. The theme for Lit Bug 2023 is the environment, and I am going to be there with my book, The Best Idea of All. A story about three girls who find an innovative way to celebrate Holi during the worst drought in decades, it fits perfectly with the theme of the year. We’ll talk about ideas and water scarcity before we make natural colours of our own.
