INDIAN BROTHER & SISTER DUO LAUNCH PUBLISHING COMPANY
(24 June 2008)

Indian siblings Amita and Gopal Mukerjee have launched Revenge Ink, a revolutionary new publishing company, to challenge the conventions of the mainstream, highbrow publishing industry by showcasing cutting-edge works from subversive new writers. The duo hope to promote strong voices and take on emotionally driven and inspiring projects to encourage edgy ‘outside-the-box’ thinking. The first two books published through Revenge Ink, 'The Armageddon Mandala' by Gopal Mukerjee and 'Ugly Duckling' by Amita Mukerjee both reflect this ideology.

Amita Mukerjee, Managing Director Revenge Ink, said: “The hallmark of Revenge Ink is to present new types of narrative that are edgy, progressive and bold. Our novels have a scabrous straight-talking tone and voice-driven approach that most mainstream publishers wouldn’t readily touch and through Revenge Ink we want to publish new and subversive writing from other independent- minded and creative authors.”

The two books have already launched in India and received positive reviews from national broadsheets and have also been openly endorsed by popular writers, like Shobhaa De, a well-respected columnist and novelist.
