Aryan Srinivasan
Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Hello! I’m Aryan Srinivasan, founder and editor-in-chief of The Rising Voice International. I started this publication in 2024, during my junior year, because I wanted more students around me to have a real place to write, be edited, and get published. I’m a 4× self-published author (Barnes & Noble and Amazon KDP), and I also run The Youth Writers Collective, where I help young writers find their voice, finish drafts, and ship work into the world. My approach is simple: clear storytelling, kind but honest feedback, and high standards that make your piece stronger without changing who you are. I love news, opinion, sci/tech, arts & culture, sports, reviews, and especially creative short stories—and I’m always excited to welcome new contributors from anywhere. If you’re curious, motivated, or just need a nudge to start, you’re in the right place. Let’s build something we’re proud to sign our names to.
