Maliha Fatima is a poet who also is helming an anthology

Contributing to an anthology is fine, but helming it is another task altogether. Maliha Fatima has contributed to four anthologies to date, but for the next one on poetry, which will be out in January 2020, she is coordinating with 70 writers. That’s a lot of work for a 17-year-old. But the student of St Francis College For Women is enjoying the process. Initially, Maliha had a bumpy start, after all, reaching out to 70 writers is no joke. “I reached out to everyone through Instagram,” says the youngster.
