Know Children Writer XI: Savie Karnel



Savie Karnel is a celebrated children’s author and accomplished journalist whose storytelling captivates young minds while instilling values of curiosity and resilience. Her ability to weave compelling narratives has made her a significant voice in children’s literature. One of her books, The Nameless God, was voted the most popular children’s book on Amazon India in 2021 and earned a place on the shortlist for the Bangalore Literature Festival Book Prize the same year—an exceptional achievement. Further cementing its influence, it became the only children’s book shortlisted for the prestigious MAMI Mumbai Film Festival’s Words to Screen Options Market in 2023.

Before finding her true calling in writing for children, Karnel built a strong foundation in journalism, contributing to prominent publications like The New Indian Express, Mid-Day, and Talk Magazine in Bengaluru. Her journalistic background enriches her storytelling, bringing authenticity and depth to her books.

Karnel’s books are not just stories but tools for empowering young readers. Her works, such as The Nameless God and Laxmi Panda: The Story of Nehru’s Youngest Spy, explore themes of identity, courage, and history. These narratives inspire children to think critically about their world while fostering empathy and a sense of adventure. By introducing complex ideas in a relatable way, her books encourage children to dream big, question norms and appreciate the stories of unsung heroes.

When she is not brainstorming new plots, Karnel finds inspiration in traveling and listening to the fascinating stories of people she meets, a passion that adds richness and authenticity to her writing. Through her works, she continues to shape young minds, proving that children’s literature is entertaining and transformative.
