Preeti Shenoy, née Preeti Kamath, is a painter and writer from Pune, India. During her school years she studied in Kendriya Vidyalayas all over India, due to her father's constant job transfers, and this contact with different cultures and languages may have had an influence in her later interest for Sociology. She started developing her writing skills since an early age, but only considered becoming a professional writer after she created herself a blog in October 2006. The number of page hits on her blog increased day by day, and she received many suggestions from readers throughout the world that she should consider publishing her texts. In 2007 she wrote a couple of articles for MetroScan, a local magazine, and in the beginning of 2008 she was invited to start contributing regularly to the newspaper Times of India. On this same year she wrote articles for Reader's Digest "Joy", and had her articles republished in various other Indian newspapers and magazines. Encouraged by the favorable reception of her first publications, she decided it was time to dedicate to a larger project, and began writing a book that was launched on October 4th, 2008, by Srishti Publishers. The book, entitled "34 Bubblegums and candies"[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] is a non fiction title consisting of 34 narratives based on real life incidents, some of which had been previously posted on her blog in a shorter form.
Preeti is a poet, too —her poetry was published in the Sulekha Book Series[7]— and a self taught artist who paints in water colors and oils but also works in mixed media. She plans to become a full time writer, and is already working on her second book, which will be a full length fiction. Currently she is living in Norwich, UK.
