I Publish My First Book Next Week

The day is almost here!

Hey friends,

Greetings from Ashoka University, India!

It’s been a few weeks since I wrote this newsletter, and the reason I paused it was because I was working on the last few logistics before releasing my first book - The Light of Wilder Things - to the world.

The book will be live next week, and I can’t tell you how excited I am.

The wild sings my song. It speaks to something deep inside that I’ve never fully understood or had the words to describe. That fluttery butterfly in my chest, that bursting imagination in my head, that fiery passion in my soul which says, maybe, I’m here for a reason—to speak for creatures and landscapes that can’t speak for themselves.

This book is that story, soon to be out into the world. I’ll talk more about it next week, when it get’s announced.

Stay tuned. Can’t wait to send the book into the world.

I gave my friend

Karena

an early copy when she was in India a few days ago, and she wrote a post on it, which you can check out below this post. I’m sure it will get you excited :)

Reviewing a book draft. I’ve poured my soul into this. Can’t wait for you to see it. Until next week.

PS: I don’t always have such a serious expression XD.

PPS: I had a pre-launch sale of the book at my university a few days ago, and I sold out completely in a matter of hours! Still in shock. Here’s a photo a friend took of me signing the books.

Favourite Quote

Imagining has always been one of my greatest joys. It’s the one thing we all can do, no matter where we’re from or who we are. It allows us to explore worlds we’ve never seen and live as people we’ve never been. - Trevor Noah

"The Light of Wilder Things" by Ishan Shanavas sees the light of day

Have a creative, wild and inspiring week!

If you’re new, welcome to The Owlet! My name is Ishan Shanavas, and I am an Artist, Photographer, Writer and Student of the Natural World.

Here I talk about my work, along with curating the most interesting ideas on the internet. I confine them to topics like Nature, Culture, Photography, and Art but often fall prey to other genres.

I would greatly appreciate it if you shared my newsletter and work with your friends. It really helps me out :)
