Isha Mullapudi
Founder - Editor-In-Chief
Isha Mullapudi is a South Florida-based obsessive reader addicted to writing, her 0.7 black ink Muji pens, and Donna Tartt. When she is not scribbling away in random notebooks, reading with terrible posture on her much-loved bed, performing her endless skincare routine, or chattering about her dream to live in London, you can find her at the ice skating rink or working on her literary + art magazine, The Looking Glass Review. Isha draws her inspiration and adores delving into literature by her favorite writers, such as Donna Tartt, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Albert Camus, Ocean Vuong, Sylvia Plath, and naturally many more. Isha enjoys Greek mythology, and stories, and lately has been loving photography. A few of her favorite films (due to her slightly pretentious nature she uses the word film rather than movie) are La La Land and Inception. She has been published in the Journalist Review and has work forthcoming in the Petrichor Gazette. Always feel free to reach out to her through her email, ishamullapudi17@gmail.com, or DM her on her Instagram, @ishamullapudi.
