Blog postIn my journey as a writer, I have had the privilege of meeting many mentors from whom I’ve learnt many things about structure, plotting, how to develop characters and other nuances of writing. Laurie Schnebly Campbell is one such mentor.
Laurie is a romance author and has a background as a counselling therapist. A perfect combination that helps her in what she loves to do—give online (as well as offline) writer workshops to students from London and Los Angeles, New Zealand and India. < -

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima (27 July, 2018) it’s extremely apt that as students of cinema we doff our hats to the “Guru” of Screenplay Writing, Mr. Salim Khan.
How worthy Salim Saab is of this respect is endorsed by his erstwhile writing partner, Javed Saab who at an event in Bhopal a few years back on stage very graciously mentioned that the one man he’s learnt the -
Blog postReleasing a new book is always a thrill. You're excited to show off your work to the world and also nervous about it. Will readers like it? Or God forbid, will they hate it?
Bombay Heights is my first new release as an Indie author. And that makes it even more special.
The book is my tribute to a city that will always hold a special place for me. Bombay. The city I grew up in. Though the story does not have any autobiographical elements to it, the City of Dreams plays a -

So, without further ado, here goes...

Blog post“There will come a day when a writer will be paid as much money as the hero.” Those were the famous words uttered by Master Writer Salim Khan to a professional associate. His words were proved wrong—but in a good way—years later when he and his writing partner, Javed Akhtar Saab actually drew a fee not equal to but more than what the hero was paid for a film that they scripted. How did this miracle happen in an industry that is notorious for undervaluing the writer? According t

Blog postJaideep Sen continues his series dedicated to the writing of Salim Khan... Writing Silence that speaks louder than words takes the skill of a genius. Let's take two such instances that can be found in Salim Saab's body of work -- Shakti for which he collaborated with his writing partner Javed Akhtar Saab and Naam, for which he was the independent writer.
An interesting side-note here: Shakti and Haathi Mere Saathi were both adapted from Tamil films by Salim and Jave -

Blog postExciting news for lovers of stories set in Ancient India. Saiswaroopa Iyer, the author of Abhaya and Avishi, is releasing her new title Mauri soon. It's a privilege for me to host the amazing new cover. But before you feast your eyes on it, here's a bit about the Author and her books.

Blog postA writer is the backbone of a movie. If a filmmaker does not have a script, he/she can’t make a movie. And yet, screenwriters continue to be undervalued by the Bollywood film industry. Writers need to be celebrated and valued as much as directors and actors.
I approached one of my dear friends JAIDEEP SEN to help me in my aim to showcase the work of legendary scriptwriters in the Bollywood film industry. Jaideep (or Raja as he is known in the industry) has spent years working w -
Blog postHave you ever met an author who doesn't want her book read? Neither have I.
When readers leave a review for the book that they have read -- be it on Amazon, Goodreads, or their own blogs -- they spread the word about it. As Tim O'Reilly famously says, "Obscurity is a greater threat to authors than piracy."
Sites like NetGalley offer a great opportunity for authors to find readers and conversely, for readers to discover new authors and books. While publishers/a -
Blog postPic Courtesy:
Kinga Cichewicz on UnsplashWriting is a bit like a long distance race. First and foremost, you have to be passionate about it--ask a runner why she runs and you'll know that it's all about passion. But is passion enough to make you a good professional athlete or a writer?
For a writer, passion is a great starting point but it's not enough. You need to train, prepare, hone your craft, practise, practise, practise.
But where is the time to do a -
Blog postTime flies, doesn't it? Summer is already upon us and the temperatures are set to soar. It was only in February this year that I launched my book Destiny's Girl on Amazon. The response from readers has been overwhelming. Amazon Kindle Unlimited readership has soared to 95,000 (page reads) in this short period and I can't thank my readers enough. So here's a "hot" offer for those who haven't read the book yet. For a limited period, the ebook will be available for a discounted price

Blog postRecently I was invited by SheThePeopleTV to participate in a panel discussion on Contemporary Romance along with other authors at the Women Writers Fest. It was an interesting session and threw up some fascinating insights into how authors (and editors) approach the topic of romantic love in fiction writing.
Are darker themes replacing feel good romance? This was one of the issues that was debated.
Real life love stories often have a gritty edge to them. We read -

Blog postFive years ago, my first book was published by Harlequin/Mills & Boon with the title "The Indian Tycoon's Marriage Deal". It was an exciting moment for me as a writer and I will always cherish that memory.
Strange thing is that I get to do a re-run of that moment. But this time as a self-published author. I am hugely excited at the opportunity to revisit Krish and Maya's story and bring it to my readers with a new cover and title. There could be no other month more app -
Blog postPhoto by Norwood Themes on Unsplash.comIt's time to say goodbye to yet another year. The end of the year is always a good time for reflection and anticipation. For me, 2017 will always be a milestone year for two reasons. One of my feature screenplays made it to the semi-finals of the Nicholl Fellowships. Yet another highlight was the making of my short script "7 Lives" into a film. I also had the good fortune to interact and meet with fellow authors and readers at the Noida Lit Fest.

Blog postDying is a topic that no one wants to talk about. It's not surprising then that organ donation, which needs to be discussed in every family, gets brushed under the carpet.
Come to think of it, organ donation is perhaps the only act that can enable a human being to live beyond death.
Robert Test encapsulates this thought through his beautiful poem, To Remember Me
At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all inte -
Blog postWriting can be -- and is -- a hobby for many people. It helps them de-stress and relax, connect with readers and writers and provides immense enjoyment.
Writing can be -- and is -- a profession for many others. It helps them earn a living. Screenplay writers, authors of best selling novels, content writers fall in this category. For them, writing is not only an enjoyable endeavour but it is a form of livelihood. I belong to this category.
In August, I -

Life imitates art. Or does art imitate life?
Whichever way you may look at it, you can’t get away from the fact that in life and in art, there is conflict.
While in real life you do your best to avoid conflict, if you did the same in your writing, your story would be dull, drab and downright unreadable or unwatchable.
Imagine a movie where all characters live happily and there is no conflict. Or a novel where page -
Blog post“Writing is a lonely art. You tend to sit on your own in a room without a whole lot of feedback, and frankly, your mother’s feedback, your dad’s feedback is not really what you want because they love and adore you. You actually want to read the tough feedback from professional readers or from the agents or managers that you submit your material to in your great quest to get representation.” – Peter Samuelson, screenwriter.
Contests are a great way to get feedback that every writer needs—to -

Blog postThis Weekend has been a particularly busy one for two of my #MyNoWriMo author buddies, Saiswaroopa Iyer and Sudesna Ghosh. A book release is no mean feat. Writers, who prefer to be left alone to create beautiful tales, have to come out of their writing dens and market their precious creations. Believe me, marketing can take the mickey out of the best of writers!
