That’s me!

That’s me!

Foreword

Hi! I'm Amanda D'Souza and this page is about my work & interests. I'm a writer and editor.

My career path has led me into the fields of journalism, magazine editing, academia, and finally, advertising & marketing. Throughout all these journeys, I have stayed true to my calling as a writer.

For over a decade now, I have penned pieces on a range of subjects including travel, art, food, health, culture, literature, business, real estate, and more.

I am a generalist; adept at both B2C and B2B writing, dabbling in long-form articles as well as social media writing.

During my stint as a college professor, I've also written and edited research papers on literary subjects. I am as comfortable writing about Shakespeare as I am about startups.

Every Sunday, I run a local silent reading community at Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park (and also manage its Instagram account).

I am passionate about stories and storytelling.
