You Can Vibe Me On My FemmePhone
My novella follows three friends, in a near-future Los Angeles, who are trying to improve themselves using a phone with a feminist operating system. It will make you laugh aloud, and maybe reconsider your life choices.
Upcoming Events
Zigzags
My first novel is set in a summer in Chicago and explores friendship, queer love, and the bittersweet loss that comes with growth.

When Aneesha returns to Chicago for the summer, all she wants to do is write and carouse with friends. Maybe rekindle things with her old flame, Whitney, who has a serious new job and relationship. Aneesha weaves through dance parties, dive bars, and all-night Mexican joints on her bike, but keeping old friends is complicated
Praise for Zigzags
“Kamala Puligandla’s Zigzags is a tender story about community as family, a love letter to a city and a season. This novel feels like summer, its tangle of bodies, all its sticky longing.”
“Zigzags is a nod to the persistence of queer joy, a radical thing in and of itself.”
