Judi (Simran) Silva’s Summary
Writing is my passion. Being able to go to India, experience it personally and then write about it is one of my goals.
I have written a Bollywood script, which is currently being adapted as a novel for publication. Seeing it being made into a film, would be an accomplishment for me.
I have one self published novella and am working on a compilation of short stories for a novel.
As a freelance writer/editor, I have enjoyed the freedom of being able to work virtually for several companies in areas and countries that I have never even visited.
Some of the other work I've done includes: PR and SEO writing, a correspondent covering events, book and film preview/reviews, along with professional interviews in the fields of arts/entertainment and social issues.
Judi (Simran) Silva’s Specialties:
Fiction writing is my forte'. Writing on the topics of India and Indian Cinema (Bollywood) are also at the top of the list.
I have done SEO ghostwriting for four separate companies.
Doing public relation work for an author and two singer/songwriters has been an interesting experience.
