Javishkar Reddy’s creative writing career has seen him fortunate enough to have been published across the globe. His story ‘Sit Down; You’re Brown’ was awarded runner-up in the ‘The SA Writers College 2019 Annual Short Story Competition’. He then won the Grand Prize Winner in the international ‘Eyelands Magazine Short Story’ contest for 2019, for his story, ‘Marvin Baxter’s Background Music’.

In 2020 and 2021, his short story ‘9 Suspects’ and poem 'Smoking During The Apocalypse' were respectively published in international anthologies. Recently, he was also awarded the best story in the WriteFluence 2021 competition for his short story, ‘The Chair’.

His debut novel, ‘12 Yards Out’, which was being handled by a UK publishing house, has recently been released. Javishkar’s dream is to have his work published and recognised on every continent in the world- with South America now being the only region outstanding on his list. Until then, he lives in Johannesburg, South Africa, trying to mind his own business, read a few books and write a few stories.
