About the Event

Did someone say a fest to celebrate Micro–Fiction? Well, that’s a first! Two days of exclusively curated workshops for millennials and beyond, with a power-packed debate on fiction vs. micro fiction and a panel discussion with social media influencers await you at The Micro Fiction Fan-Fest.



Why should you be here?


To celebrate The Micro-Fiction Fan Fest (TMFFF), we have joined hands with those who have had the nation; especially the youth fall in love with their magical world of minimalistic expression. Flash fiction in the form of literature, music, poetry, et al has been ruling our mind space along with the digital space. It’s time that Micro-fiction got its own platform and literati.


Khushboo and Hiral, the duo behind The Micro-Fiction Fan Fest aim to bring the long and short of literature to the youth instead of waiting for them to come to it. Get to witness the first of its kind festival and experience the sheer brilliance with the country’s best. In this edition, they have roped in the most loved micro-fiction curators, content creators and youth icons who influence the youth and break the stereotype.


About the organisers:


Two girls driven by the passion and enthusiasm to shake things up wherever they go have joined hands together to get some wordplay for the millennials, just like them. Hiral Malde Shah was with Red FM, co-founded a celebrity management and PR company loves everything bright and leaves a little sparkle wherever she goes. She now works with the radio station 104 Fever. Khushboo Balwani Rawal, the founder of a PR and SMM Company, Literati Communications and Mumbai Maven, the event management company, is a closet writer and poet. Together they are running out of pages to pen down their projects.


“Being hopeless lovers of wordplay, and not having enough of the beautiful musings that pop up on our screens day in day out, we intend to bring together the best of the passionate minds behind these words to one platform: The first ever Micro-Fiction Fan Fest.”
