Siyahi, in Urdu means 'ink', the dye that stains the shape of our thoughts. So here we try our best to cherish and nurture the timeless magic of words.
At the heart of our organisation is an insatiable need to find human, meaningful stories and then help these voices reach out into the world. We enjoy working with authors from all backgrounds and genres. But we do stay away religiously from hackneyed, unimaginative manuscripts and instead value originality and a sense of adventure in our potential writers.
Our portfolio goes beyond just literature and links together various aesthetic and artistic fields such as dance, cinema, music, textiles, et cetera. We have a special interest in regional works and are enthusiastically involved in facilitating translations of books to and from various languages. As we not only aim for higher sales figures but also to eradicate illiteracy from this country and to promulgate a healthy reading habit, especially amongst the youth.
