TO GET STARTED


A little bit about me beforehand

Having started out with writing poetry in an international writing platform in 2007, I published my first book of modern-day poetry titled “Imagination Unchained – ISBN 978-1-4771-2519-9” in the summer of 2012, available on Amazon, published by Xlibris.com.au.

What started out as a means of writing down my thoughts and feelings after experiencing the unexpected devastating demise of my youngest brother, it has now blossomed into something that I do full-time to fulfill my driven passion and become part of the writing world that I have come to learn much from and respect.

After initially embarking on poetry, I started dwelling into fiction/non-fiction articles, stories, and novel writing, a move that was equally challenging and at the same time fulfilling as I penned away words to make stories come alive.

I am especially pleased that my book “A Christmas Duet” got me the top 10% among writer’s award in the Inkitt Novel Contest since published in paperback edition by Notion Press Ltd – ISBN 978-1-948424-83-7. Also available on Amazon. Additionally, I chose to publish a few children’s stories on Amazon.

Right now, in the year 2019, I am embarking on my most new venture – Reviewing Books at reasonable costs. I believe that good, quality and honest reviews will boost the confidences of authors everywhere and it shouldn’t be a hassle to get these reviews. Through experience, I have found it hard to have my books reviewed because I was unable to meet the fees of using professional reviewers.

I have reviewed a few books entered into the Inkitt Novel Contests and find it a great way to find great authors and delve into their writing abilities and stories.

I look forward to working and producing honest reviews for anyone who wants me to review their work. Email me for a quote today: shobanagomes@gmail.com
