hello and welcome!

I am a freelance writer with work in national and international publications. I have recently relocated from the UK to India and am currently based in Goa.  

I enjoy supporting new writers - I helped create Writers' Bloc, a support group for new writers in Mumbai, India and was also a mentor for young writers in the (now closed) Little Owl Mentoring Program. I'm currently helping several new-to- freelancing writers stick to their writing by supporting them with website help, query letters and pep-talks. 

I have a degree in Psychology from one of India's best colleges - St. Xaviers, Mumbai. 

If you would like to discuss a project I could help you with, please contact me at chryselled (at) gmail (dot) com.

case study requests

I'm looking for quotes, tips, suggestions and / or anecdotes for the following features that I'm working on:

- Have you got a job through Facebook, LinkedIn or similar sites? Or know someone who has? Please get in touch.

- Goa's markets: Have you been to one? Share your experiences.

- People who have changed careers. Did you study to do something and changed track somewhere along the line? Finally found your dream job?

 

   

what they said

I love sharing personal stories and it does make up a fair chunk of my writing but finding markets for these types of pieces isn’t an easy task in my experience. Thankfully, we have some other excellent freelance writers willing to share their knowledge like Chryselle D’Silva Dias. She has came to our rescue with Fifteen Paying Markets for Personal Essays and Life Stories. Thank you Chryselle, your article is much appreciated! (Kay Elizabeth)
