The company will publish books written by trans persons and books related to trans literature, she said.
Priya Babu said that she came up with the idea since many transpersons are interested in authoring books but there's low acceptance of their works among the publications. Hence, she said that she decided to publish the works of transpersons and about transpersons, as per a report on The New Indian Express.
Even during the inauguration, a book was released in the function. They have also scheduled the release of a novel 'Kotravai' in July 2022.
