Hello friends — with immense love & excitement, I have decided to create a new, intimate space for art, thought, & love in the form of a patron page on karyakarsa. You can become part of our intimate community & receive love parcels every week: a secret newsletter & podcast, exclusive writings & other works, tutorials & behind-the-scenes, creative club & mentorship, access to discord community, special shoutouts, & more. With your support, I can devote my time, energy, & space to create works that are intimate, authentic, & finely-crafted — all made in love.Â
newsletter & podcast
Peony Notes is part diary, part podcast. Delivered once a week, these notes are a 5 minute intermission on memories, culture, and desire. Occasionally, I will also publish early drafts of writings & other works before it’s official publication date. Peonies are flowers that are beautiful, resilient, and can live for up to 100 years — as I hope these notes will.
tutorials & behind the scenes
Receive weekly delivery of creative tutorials, writing prompts, cultural references, and an in-depth insight into the behind-the-scenes process of writing, publishing, and multidisciplinary arts.
creative classes & community
Make time for your creativity, engage in conversations with other creators, & become part of a community through a weekly discord gathering that includes direct mentorship with me where you can consult on your creative ideas, process, and projects.

A little about me: I'm Rain Chudori. I'm a writer, actress, founder of Moment Studio, and curator of Comma Books. Some of the books I’ve written are Monsoon Tiger (2015), Imaginary City (2018), Buku Biru (2019), and Imaginary City: A Visual Novel (2022). You can find me on instagram, twitter, or reach out through email. I'm based between New Delhi & New York, but I belong everywhere.
Note about Tender Newsletter: while there is a special part in my heart for this newsletter, we will be moving all of our content to our patron page. Occasionally, I will post excerpts from Peony Notes here — you can access the full, exclusive content by becoming a monthly patron. Thank you for your time. Please sign-up to become a monthly patron and share the patron page if you feel like it added something to your life.
With love and peonies,
Rain Chudori
