Hawakal works with emerging and established writers and poets from around the world, bringing together varied literary voices and subjects. Its books include poetry collections, novels, short stories, memoirs, spiritual works, literary criticism, and books on art and cinema. Titles such as Tea and Tombs: Poems on Hyderabad, Yasodhara: A Novel, and Ashok Kumar: Atma-Katha O Bombay Talkies illustrate the range of its publishing programme.
