As a seasoned journalist, what inspired you to transition into writing a full-length book, and what aspects of your reporting experience did you draw upon in this work?
The freedom to expressing myself without limitations is the driving force that led to coming up with the creative work of book writing. In book writing thoughts are shared in a creative way and there is no space limitation to reach the targets. The aspects of reporting is based on fiction and real life experiences that are not boldly discussed but in most instances discussions are done between peers.
Can you elaborate on the research process for the book?
First it starts with a societal problem that I feel has not been well tackled. Then I discuss with the targets to get responses. After which combined with investigations the book sprouts to life.
Did you rely heavily on your existing network of sources, or did you need to venture into new territory to gather information for this project?
It is two fold - the networks provided about 30 percent of information, other information was on observations and fiction.
Given your background in journalism, did you face any challenges in transitioning to writing a book, particularly in terms of maintaining accuracy and credibility while also crafting a compelling narrative?
Not at all, I'm a trained creative writer with experience on book publication process and writing books has not been challenging. With a network of writers, editors and publishers that are cooperative the manuscripts are easily turned into books.
For aspiring journalists who might consider writing a book one day, what advice would you give them based on your experience?
The advice is always journalize your work and always think in a unique way beyond the news room. Writing books gives satisfaction and at the same time is an additional revenue stream.
