About Your Instructor

Shoma Mittra

Hello there, So glad you stopped by. Ever felt like you are almost there, but can't quite seem to make that final leap? You know that book is crying to be born, but you just don't know how to take the next step.I have been a journalist and editor for more than two decades (showing my age now). During this time, I have seen hundreds of great manuscripts abandoned because they felt it was too hard, or life got in the way and they had no time. Yet there is always an ache, a need to complete that story. And then there is the joy and pure ecstasy when you do manage to finish a book and publish it. That is what drives me. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the published book on the library shelf or in a book store. It's incredible!My love for stories, my love for history and my love for words is why I am here today. This is a journey, not a one night stand. I don't promise quick fixes. I promise to hold your hand, promise to work with you through those hard nights when you are struggling to put things down, I promise to help you with those pesky little hurdles that keep cropping up and finally I hope I can help you get published as an author of repute.

I would like to say how helpful Shoma Mittra has been in the editing of my memoir, The Biscuit Factory. Her gentle encouragement and belief that what I had written was worthwhile has enabled me to bring to fruition a project which has been in the making for sixteen years
