Arefa Tehsin

I'll be conducting a workshop on #nonfiction writing on #wildlife around my recent book #WildNextDoor published by @PuffinIndia Organised by @VarshaSeshan for their Online #CreativeWriting Program. Pls join if you'd like to.

“The Fourth Girl shows Arefa Tehsin's real range, style, and nerve. Her wit is sly, her eye for hypocrisy unsparing - @saliltripathi Thanks a ton, Salil, for taking out the time and for this gorgeous quote! Delighted :) @PenguinIndia #TheFourthgirl #mystery #books @Moutushi2382

@mid_day: In Arefa Tehsin’s new non-fiction book #WildNextDoor (Puffin Books), we learn some wondrous facts about creatures that survive around humans within urban ecosystems #kidlit @PenguinIndia #wildinthebackyard #childrensbook #illustratedbook #newbook #urbanwildlife #nature

What if the fox isn’t always sly, the lion isn’t always brave, and the spider isn’t always creepy? What if there’s more to every character than meets the eye? Join me for the free #writingworkshop organised by Big Red Education @PenguinIndia #kidlit #creativewriting

Glimpses of the launch of my feminist thriller #TheFourthGirl in #Colombo. A beautiful evening of conversations around women who write, women written & the messy, marvellous territory in between. Designer Radisi. Video-NilanMaligespe #booklaunch @PenguinIndia #authorslife

I list my favourite female driven #thrillers on @mybookdna 1. The Moonstone: ...Rosanna Spearman deserved better and 150 yrs later I'm still cross about it. A good makes you hold grudges on behalf of people who never existed. Read @ bookdna.com/best-books/thril… #BookRecommendations
