Readomania is also pleased to announce the editor for this book, Ms. Vasudha Gulati.

Vasudha Chandna Gulati is a voracious reader, a quirky cook and appreciates being thought of as eccentric. An Honours Graduate in English from Delhi University and a Masters Diploma in Marketing from Dehradun she has donned many hats of a Teacher, Marketing Manager, Small Business Owner as she followed her husband from Delhi to Bangalore to Chandigarh and then to Gurgaon where she is presently based. She is a mom to two great teens who have survived her sarcasm to become confident individuals.

There were numerous stories brewing in her and she finally sat down to put ink to paper and was first published in “Defiant Dreams- Tales of Everyday Divas” by Readomania. Two of her stories are also housed in the recently published ‘WriteIndia Stories’ having won 1^st and 3^rd place in the first season of The Times of India Write India Contest. She contributes parenting articles regularly for The Shri Ram School’s parent magazine ‘Strings.’ She has also contributed poetry to collections like ‘Stree- Shakti’ and ‘UnBound Emagazine’. She is now working at her first novel, a tale that is old and new, of a man lost and a mother found. She believes that the world is full of sadness and goodness in equal measures, her contribution to making the world a better place is through words, one at a time, which will fill the abyss and make people more empathetic towards one another.

The first phase of this project is over.
