Aditya Sharma

Aditya Sharma grew up in Sonipat aspiring to be a cricketer. When his cricket career went for a toss, he studied law at Delhi University and then practised in his hometown for a couple of years—until he discovered that he wanted to be a writer. He started off by freelancing for various publications
before moving into journalism.

He worked with a couple of magazines in Delhi and later joined Reader’s Digest in Mumbai. Over the years, he has written extensively on films, music and literature for the Hindu, the Tribune, the Pioneer, Deccan Herald, Firstpost and Scroll.

His first novel, Champs of Devgarh, received both critical and commercial acclaim and went into multiple
reprints. His short stories have appeared in various publications, including the Statesman, as well as in two
anthologies. His first collection of short stories, Love Guru of Devgarh, was published recently. Super Champs of Devgarh is the sequel to his first novel. He can be reached at aditya.devgarh@gmail.com.
