About Untold Narratives

Established in 2020, Untold Narratives was set up in response to the needs of a group of Afghan women writers who had little or no opportunity to work with editors or translators, or to have their work published.

This initial group of twenty writers has been working with Untold since then and has led to the publication of, My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird, New Fiction by Afghan Women. Also, Rising After the Fall and coming in 2024, A Song for Afghanistan: The Diary of a Women’s Writing Group.

These Afghan women writers form the core of the Paranda network, our initiative for writers in Afghanistan and those in the diaspora.

In 2022, Untold partnered with BEE Books in Kolkata to replicate the editorial model used for writers in Afghanistan, which resulted in the anthology A Fistful of Moonlight: New Fiction from Assam.
