Sascha Akhtar has had her fiction published in BlazeVox, Tears In The Fence, The Learned Pig, Anti-Heroin Chic & Storgy. She has two collections of stories in the works and a book of translations of pioneering feminist fiction writer Hijjab Imtiaz from the Indian Subcontinent coming out in April 2020 on Oxford University Press, India. The first story she wrote was at the age of seven and was about a post-apocalyptic world where only a single flower remains – not much has changed as regards her concerns in story-telling.
