Rahul Saini (born 8 May 1983) is an Indian author of contemporary fiction. His books have strong comic tones and present up-beat stories that portray the fun loving, free spirited and out going character of today’s Indian youth. His first book ‘Those Small Lil’ Things in Life and Love’, which was essentially a boy’s tale about growing up and his relationship with girls through the years,[1] was published in 2008 and made it to several bestsellers' list across the nation.[2][3][4] He believes that today's youth likes fast paced stories which are either larger than life[5] or which they can relate to. He avoids using themes like sex and sleaze to please the masses.[6]

His novels have numerous references to many movies and T.V. Shows.[7]

He has signed a two book contract with Penguin India and the first book has been titled Paperback Dreams.[8]

His fourth book, Paperback Dreams fueled a controversy. The book is said to have revealed many dirty secrets about the commercial fiction publishing Industry in Delhi, addressing Delhi as the "casting couch for the publishing industry".[9] Currently he is working on his next book and there are rumors that the story might have a supernatural theme.
