Desi Writers Lounge is an online, 24/7, 365 days a year writers' workshop and community. The bulk of the workshopping is conducted on our forums, where our members and writers undergo intense critiquing sessions.

PAPERCUTS is our biannually published online literary magazine, which contains our membership's best material of the half year. Submission to the magazine is based on performance on the forums, what the membership and editorial team thinks about your work, and whether we believe it can be honed for publication. For this reason, submission is not currently open to the public.

Whoever you are: writer, reader or critic we welcome you to the Lounge, encourage you to look around and if the shoe fits, join us!

Sincerely,

The Team at Desi Writers Lounge
