Samarth Girotra is a 16-year-old from Noida and a fixture of the debating and Model UN circuit, where he has argued everything from climate policy to intergalactic conflict.
He writes with the precision and curiosity of someone who values a good idea. You can see it in his debut novel, The Battle for Bookworld, where the villain attacks reality by rewriting its words. That is a debater's nightmare turned into a plot.
Samarth is also one of our most prolific young authors, with stories in both the Hopscotch and Whispers of Many Worlds anthologies. Writing a full solo novel as a teenager takes a stamina that anthology work does not, and he has it.
