Focus and scope
Started and run by a group of writers, Muse India is a literary e-journal with the primary objective of showcasing Indian writings in English and English translation to a broad-based global readership. The journal publishes both creative and critical writing and offers a wide range of literary forms—poetry, short fiction, essays, conversations with writers, book reviews, and the like. Muse India is a peer-reviewed journal for literary articles.
Muse India invites works that meet the broad objectives of the journal from both experienced and young writers. From authors, both Indian and non-Indian, it welcomes contributions that focus mainly on India. However, we occasionally publish other contributions as well. These can be works originally written in English or translated into English from Indian languages. For details see the link ‘Submissions’.

Muse India has instituted two annual awards – (a) Muse India Young Writer Award given for a work in any literary genre to a person who is not over 35 years of age at the time of publication of the work and (b) Muse India Translation Award given to an outstanding work of translation into English from any of the Indian languages. Announcement calling for submissions is made in June with the last date for submission being end-September. The Awards are announced and given in January.
