Assam, India
Tamoghna
Dey
An indie author, poet and storyteller writing quietly from Assam — two published books, and words that keep finding their way into new corners.
About the author
Tamoghna Dey writes from Assam, India, where two decades of quiet observation have shaped a voice that moves easily between fiction and verse. His work has found homes far from home — in Friday Flash Fiction Magazine in Scotland and Synchronous Chaos Magazine in California — alongside two full-length books published through BookLeaf Publishing. Recognition has followed steadily: two Emily Dickinson Awards, a listing in the India Book of Records, and honours from literature societies across the country. He took admission in an MSc in Zoology at The Assam Royal Global University, a course he later left after being diagnosed with cellulitis, compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic — a chapter that redirected more of his attention toward writing.
