“Receiving the Award has transformed my outlook towards children’s literature; children has become a focus area. Earlier, writing for children was one component of my work, now it’s kind of central with workshops on writing for children, conferences on children’s literature and so much! I have been receiving offers from publishers in smaller towns who earlier did not recognize me as an author for children. Recently, a film maker approached me for writing a script for a children’s film. I was known only as an author for environment writing, but not as an author for children. BLBA’s recognition has led to societal recognition I must say. It has given me a new identity.”
