Author

Annie Zaidi's first collection of essays, Known Turf: Bantering with Bandits and Other True Tales, was short-listed for the Vodafone Crossword Book Award in 2010. Noted journalist and author P. Sainath has said of the book: "The stories on dalits in the Punjab easily rank amongst the best done on the subject" and "Above all, it is the quality of the story-telling that grips you. A beautifully written book".[4]

In July 2014, Harper Collins India released its third collaboration with Zaidi, this time a novella. Titled Gulab, it tells the story of an eerie romance between a living man and a ghost.

Her collection of short stories Love Stories # 1 to 14, published by Harper Collins India in 2012, is "a look at love, straight in the eye, to understand the alluring nature of the beast".

Another collection of short stories, The Good Indian Girl, was co-authored along with Smriti Ravindra and published by Zubaan in 2011. Crush, a series of 50 illustrated poems (in collaboration with illustrator Gynelle Alves) was published in 2007.

More of her work has appeared in literary journals such as The Little Magazine, Desilit, Pratilipi, The Raleigh Review, Mint Lounge, Indian Literature (Sahitya Akademi) and Asian Cha.

In June 2012, Elle magazine named Zaidi as one of the emerging South Asian writers "whose writing we believe will enrich South Asian literature".[5] The list also called 20 under 40 was inspired by Granta′s 20 under 40 list.

In 2015, Zaidi published an anthology called Unbound: 2,000 Years of Indian Women's Writing.[6][7]
