Olivia Barman Becomes the Youngest to Rank 3rd Nationally in India’s Best Author Rankings 2025 — With Her Work Set to Release in 140+ Countries

Siliguri, West Bengal – In a remarkable literary milestone, Olivia Barman, a 22-year-old emerging writer from Siliguri, Darjeeling district, has secured the 3rd rank nationally in the prestigious India’s Best Author Rankings 2025, rising above over 1 lakh entries from across the country. With this extraordinary achievement, she has become the youngest winner ever to be featured among the top three authors on the national stage.

Olivia began her writing journey at the age of 19, and in just a few years, she has made her mark in India’s growing literary landscape. Known for her heartfelt poems and deeply reflective short stories, Olivia has contributed to 14 published books as a co-author — a rare feat at such a young age. Her writing explores raw human emotions, inner silence, and the unseen world of thoughts that many hesitate to express.

In 2023, Olivia was honoured with the Rabindranath Tagore Literature Award for her contribution to Indian literature, a recognition that further solidified her place among promising young voices in the literary world.

Her winning poem, ‘Shards Within,’ touched hearts with its emotional honesty and raw beauty, leaving a lasting impression on readers and judges alike. Now, her work is set to be released across 140+ countries through global publishing platforms, expanding her literary voice to an international audience.

Despite her rising fame, Olivia remains a deeply introspective soul. An introvert by nature, she finds her greatest comfort in the pages of her personal diary, where many of her most powerful ideas are born. She believes that it’s her quiet observations of life, people, and emotions that truly fuel her creativity.

Speaking about her recent achievement, Olivia shared:
“It still feels surreal. I never wrote for recognition — I wrote because writing was the only place I felt heard, even in silence. To now be recognised on such a large scale is overwhelming.”

What sets Olivia apart is not just her talent, but her ability to connect with readers across generations. Her stories and verses carry a calm intensity, reflecting maturity beyond her years.

As the next wave of Indian writers begins to rise, Olivia Barman is undoubtedly one of the stand out names — not only as a gifted author, but as a literary voice of quiet courage, authenticity, and creative spirit.

As she continues to evolve, Olivia Barman isn’t just writing her story — she’s quietly redefining what it means to be young, fearless, and creatively authentic in today’s India.
