Hyderabad’s Authorbanter Club connects authors with readers directly
The Authorbanter Club in Hyderabad is a new initiative designed to help independent and emerging authors connect directly with readers through curated offline events. Founded by book enthusiasts, the club aims to bridge the gap between writers and their audience beyond traditional publishing channels.
Why it matters
It highlights a growing grassroots movement in urban India to support independent literature and foster community engagement in the publishing sector.
Authorbanter Club in Hyderabad creates a platform for independent, emerging, self-published, semi-published authors to engage with readers. “Authors can easily interact with book lovers online but they have to depend on book launch events or meetup sessions to connect with readers offline and discuss their book. However, only few people know of these events,” says book lover Biswarupa Barik, about what led to the formation of the club with Nusrath Ali Quadri, a former IT employee in September 2025. The idea behind the club is to create an experience for the author and make audience engagement easy.
