Hello, everyone!  My name is Ekta Garg, and I use my blog, The Write Edge, as my professional writing platform.  I have been writing since I was a child, and with two degrees in journalism I have received the best training in the technical aspects of writing.

But my heart has always been in creative writing, and I originally launched my blog as the impetus for rewriting my first novel.  I am now posting it piece by piece on a weekly basis in a separate blog for a small but dedicated readership.  Here is the synopsis for the novel:

First-generation American Priya Malhotra realizes her definition of "being Indian" is drastically different from her parents' definition when they try to arrange her marriage.  As she embarks on an emotional separation from everyone (including best guy friend, Raj,) Priya discovers that to understand her cultural identity, first she'll have to find out who she is.

As I work on my own writing, I also enjoy helping those in the writing fraternity pursue their own dreams by offering my professional editing skills for hire.

My book review blog is at: thewriteedgebookshelf.wordpress.com.

My parenting blog is at: thewriteedgegrowthchart.wordpress.com.

And I am happy to add interested writers to the novel blog at: americankismet.wordpress.com.

I tell people I write because this is where my heart beats the loudest, and I hope one day to give others the opportunity to hear that rhythm by getting published.
