Meet the Maker

Hi, I’m Mitika — the heart, hands, and happy chaos behind Novel Encounter.I’ve always believed books are more than just stories — they’re companions, adventures, and comfort on rainy days. What started as my personal hobby of pairing books with little keepsakes for friends soon became something bigger: a way to share the joy of reading in the most beautiful, thoughtful way possible. Proudly owned and operated in Australia, Novel Encounter is my small corner of the world where stories meet creativity.When I’m not hunting for the perfect read or handcrafting bookmarks, you’ll probably find me with a cup of tea, a blanket, and a book that I “only meant to read a chapter of” hours ago.Every box you open is packed by me — with care, love, and the hope that it sparks a little magic in your day.
