About Meera

I love creating eco-friendly, hand-bound books and zines—printed on recycled paper with plant-based inks.

My name means Ocean in Sanskrit.

I create a variety of books and zines that celebrate all kinds of topics — ranging from vegan cooking, to American-Gujarati culture, science, and music history. I also write fiction that is experimental, magical realist, or surrealist.

I have an educational background in healthcare and worked as a writing teacher. I enjoy being a writing teacher, but craved work that was very creative and independent. When I shared my stories, many people told me that they loved reading my work. They asked for more and more. Eventually, I learned the traditional arts of book-binding and print-making. I wanted to create products that would not only feel good to read, but to hold. My students seemed to notice even the small things in class assignments, like the texture of the paper.

Today, I get to do what I love and write full-time. I love to create handmade books, zines, and more that brings joy to others. Much gratitude to all the people who read my stories and became amazing supporters. As promised, I’ll keep you up-to-date on new releases. 

That’s the story of how Meera’s Books came to be. I would like to make my content as accessible as possible to all— so if you have any additional requests for accessibility, please contact me here!
