About Tasavvur
Tasavvur is a digital magazine dedicated to South Asian speculative fiction. We have been publishing stories since our inception in 2022, featuring narratives that imagine new worlds, explore the unknown, and reimagine old ones with elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and everything in between.
The word Tasavvur means “imagination” or “vision,” and that’s what drives us: a love for stories that come from South Asia and its many cultures, languages, and traditions. We believe speculative fiction can reflect the real world in powerful ways, especially when told through a South Asian lens.
What We Do
- Publish Stories & Art: We release quarterly issues filled with short stories, essays, and beautiful artwork by South Asian creators.
- Support Writers & Artists: Tasavvur isn’t just a magazine; it’s a space for people who love storytelling, especially the kind that’s bold, strange, and full of heart.
- Build a Community: Through our writing club and book club, we help people connect, share and grow.
Why It Matters
There aren’t enough places that centre South Asian voices in science fiction, fantasy, or horror. We’re here to change that by creating a platform that supports and celebrates our stories.
Whether you’re a reader, a writer, or an artist, you’re welcome here. Explore our stories, share your own, and be part of something magical.
