she/her

Srividhya Venkat’s first story was illustrated and published by her brother when she was eight years old. Then she grew up to be just another adult. But after reading several books to her children, she became a child once more and began to weave stories again. Today she is a children’s author and oral storyteller who loves to create and share stories about our big beautiful world where everyone is different, yet same-same.

  • If you could be a character in a children's book, who would you be?

    I would love to be Jack from the Magic Treehouse series. I love traveling to new places, visiting historic sites, and learning about their local history. There could be nothing better than time travel for me!

  • Describe your creative space and routine.

    I like to vary my creative space and so it moves with me often to the library or local cafe. All I need is a comfortable desk, instrumental music, and either a window or people doing their own thing in a relatively quiet atmosphere.

  • What is your favorite creative fuel?

    Chai and savory treats☕️🍿
