Keerthana Ram is an Indian writer with a background in social work and community development.

Working in the homelessness and mental health space for some years now, she has been involved with innovations led and informed by people with histories of disadvantage. Keerthana is deeply interested in a number of cross-cutting stories revolving around the intersections of gender, disability, mental health, pop-culture, and social justice.

An unapologetic feminist, she enjoys slow afternoons with her grandmother, peppered with freshly brewed coffee, popcorn dribbling with butter and vintage music. When not writing, you can catch Keerthana dreaming about retiring one day to run a library in the countryside with her dogs.
