Venkat Pulapaka
I am a passionate journalist, a successful professor by accident and a freelance writer by desire. I made my humble beginnings as a cub reporter for an evening newspaper 30 years back. After one year into journalism, I shifted my base from the street to the editing desk. Continuously for 
20 years I worked in various English-language newspapers in India, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Then I switched professions and went into teaching at the University-level. After eight and a half years of professorship in media studies, I returned to print media and worked in a senior position in a newspaper for two years. Finally, in 2013 I decided to become a home-based freelance writer. Throughout my career I had been associated with issues like development, economy, agriculture, governance, information technology, media studies, health and history. I have travelled extensively across India. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, Political Science and Public Administration and a Post-graduate Diploma in Journalism. I live in the city of Hyderabad, which is located in the South of India.

I wrote my first story, which I bound as a tiny book, at the age of five and began my professional writing career at the age of 15 with a feature about a local farmer who still used mules to plow. I became editor of my college paper at 17 and editor of my tiny hometown paper in rural Bowdon, Georgia, at 19. I earned a bachelor of arts in communications on the ten-year plan, having dropped out for a period to pursue journalism full time. I’ve written on countless topics, but news remains my true love. Today, I freelance, writing, editing, producing graphics and designing web pages. In my spare time, I enjoy following politics, reading, writing fiction, painting and sewing.

A life long lover of reading and writing. I started writing short stories when I was seven in a little notebook I used to carry around. I honed my skills through various writing classes throughout my life. After spending six years in the United States Marine Corps with a combat deployment to Afghanistan, I realized that writing is what I want to do with my life. My other hobbies include Politics, military news, history and of course sports. I plan on enrolling at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill this fall to pursue a degree in literature.

Terry Baron [email protected]
I have a background in journalism and an avid interest in politics, working with federal and provincial political parties for over thirty years. A non-fiction writer for over twenty years, I have recently gone freelance. As well, I have been writing fiction all of my life and am currently working on a novel loosely based on my thirteen years living and working in Asia. I earned a Bachelor of Commerce in Communications from the University of Alberta in Canada and spent a number of years in the IT field before moving to journalism, writing for three different newspapers. Feeling the need for an adventure, I then moved to Asia to work in communications as a consultant. I am currently living on Canada’s east coast where I share seven acres of woodland and an enormous house with numerous cats of questionable origin.

Barbara Green [email protected]
Raised along the upper banks of the Mississippi River, Barbara has spent the last ten years living in places whose rivers were in comparison rather unimpressive. After serving for two years in the Peace Corps, she returned to school and is currently working towards a Ph. D in modern Japanese literature. However, not even the daily research and writing of graduate school has completely satisfied her need to create so she spends her free time as a freelance contributor and translator.
