About the Author
The Weight of a Comma comes from 2020, during the years when over 1,500 books had no platform. Amazon had shut the door. Draft2Digital said they were "a small company for small authors." The writing never stopped — Atharva was 23 and still producing poetry & verse work with no clear path to publication. Poetry was one of the first forms Atharva tried — his English teacher Gita Miss pushed him to build vocabulary through verse, and the habit stuck across 15 collections.
