Indrani Perera is an Australian author who shares her extensive experience and knowledge as a published poet with her students. She provides expert guidance for emerging and established writers.

‘What sets Indrani apart is not just her mastery of poetry but her genuine investment in nurturing emerging voices. Her feedback was always constructive, pushing me to explore new horizons while staying true to my voice. Her mentorship was a blend of professionalism, warmth, and genuine passion for the craft, making every interaction both enlightening and enjoyable.’
Lakshmi R Kanchi
Author of Lake song
‘Indrani was one of the first poets published by Ginninderra Press. Her first collection, Defenestration, clearly demonstrated that she was a talent to watch and her second, pas de deux, amply confirmed her dedication to the craft of poetry. New and aspiring poets would learn an immense amount from her workshops and benefit richly from her enthusiasm and insights.’

I have been writing, editing and publishing for over 25 years.
I’m passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping writers to become published authors.
I have had two poetry books published, been shortlisted for major Australian poetry prizes and my poems appear in literary journals in Australia, India and the USA. I have performed my poetry in Naarm (Melbourne), Boorloo (Perth) and Canberra and been a featured poet for Girls on Key, Perc.u.lations, That Poetry Thing That is on at Smiths Every Monday Night, the Melbourne Spoken Word & Poetry Festival and the Perth Poetry Festival.
I also have significant experience in the publishing industry — working in an Australian book shop, for an independent Australian publisher and as editor of the Pocketry Almanack print journal.
I can help you achieve your writing goals with support, encouragement, feedback, editing and industry advice!
