Find Your Inspiration

Nandini's debut novel Bright Lines is set in the Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy areas of Brooklyn. The history and legacy of that disappearing New York canvas is still present, and Tanwi loves to walk the streets gleaning inspiration. She loves Colonia Verde for Latin American fusion food in a gorgeous backyard. Sisters Bar, the location for her book's after-party, holds a special place in Tanwi's memory as a former women-owned hardware store. Marche Rue Dix, a carrier of Hi Wildflower, is a blossoming women-of-color owned business. Connecting to your neighborhood in the way that Tanwi has provides a constant source of inspiration for your creative endeavors.
