Hello Everyone! I am a freelance writer/journalist with more than 10 years of experience in the field of international journalism. I have extensive experience doing stories on topics related to pertinent geo-political issues, world news, environment and healthcare , stories on art, culture, society as well as human interest stories on numerous issues. I am now looking for work opportunities both in writing as well as digital /electronic media. I am also an author with my 1st book of poetry 'The Sunset Sonata' , having been published by Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters. My 2nd book of English poetry is due to be out from Red River soon. So I am also keen on creative writing opportunities. My extensive experience in journalism equips me with excellent research skills. i can quickly research the required topic and produce quality content within the stipulated time frame. Journalism has also equipped me to work under very tight deadlines. I can turn in work fairly quickly if required, from within a couple of hours to within a day. I also have experience doing translations from Hindi to English including translation of creative and literary writing. I would be good with work that involves producing website content, news writing, writing of blog posts, content for brochures, promotional material, product reviews, copy editing, e book writing, news analysis, ghost-writing, writing on topics related to south Asia, etc.
