Meet Nivaan Gupta, Our 7-Year-Old Adventure Writer

A 7-year-old who loves adventure, funny characters, and football in equal measure, and who is always dreaming up new ideas.

Nivaan Gupta is a 7-year-old storyteller who loves adventure, funny characters, and football in equal measure.

He is always dreaming up new ideas and writing them down. That last part is what makes him an author and not just a daydreamer, and it is harder than it sounds at any age. The ideas go straight from his imagination onto the page, with none of the throat-clearing that older writers learn the hard way to cut.

Nivaan is one of the youngest contributors to Whispers of Many Worlds, and reading his story next to those of the teenagers in the book is a small lesson in how a writing voice grows.
