What happens when four people from completely different careers decide to write together? You get S&G Escapes, India’s first and highest-selling Collaborative Fiction Quartet, redefining the way stories are written.
It all started when two couples met through their spouses. At first, they were just friends. But as they talked more, they realized they all loved telling stories. One of them had already written a business book, while another was planning a novel about four women. Soon, they came up with the idea of writing fiction as a team.
This idea turned into something much bigger than they expected. Today, they are India’s first and best-selling collaborative fiction authors.
Four Unique Minds, One Powerful Storytelling Team
Each of the four brings something special to their books:
- Sunil Girdhar – The IT professional who loves adding twists that keep readers guessing.
- Nalin Singh – The entrepreneur who makes sure the characters feel real.
- Aparna Singh – The educationist who pays attention to every little detail.
- Bharti Girdhar – The interior designer who creates settings that pull readers into the story.
Their different ways of thinking make their books full of surprises, emotions, and suspense.
A Writing Process Like No Other
Writing as a group is not easy. They start by sharing ideas in free-flowing discussions, inspired by real-life stories and random thoughts. Everyone throws in their suggestions, and they decide what works best.
Each person plays to their strengths. They have regular meetings to check progress, challenge ideas, and make the story better. Sometimes they argue, but these disagreements always lead to stronger stories.
The Challenges of Writing as a Team
Bringing four different minds together is never smooth. They sometimes struggle with different opinions, busy schedules, and unexpected creative blocks. But instead of letting these problems stop them, they use them to improve their work.
“Having different views helps us tell deeper and more exciting stories.” they say.
What’s Next?
With three books already out—Triptease, Mooncircles, Café Morgan and Lotus Brahma—they are now working on two new thrillers:
- A murder mystery set in Bangalore’s fast-growing startup scene.
- A crime story with a speed-dating twist.
These stories promise to be as exciting as their previous ones.
