It covers the syllabus of media writing for several Universities like Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Delhi University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Guru Jambheshwar University, Kurukshetra University, CCU, Amity University and others. This book will prove to be extremely useful to the scholars of Journalism at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The book is written so systematically that even the teachers, working professionals and creative writers will find it very useful.
Review of the Book
The book is a pioneering initiative taken by Ms. Bhawna Solanki to venture into the unexplored horizons in the domain of CREATIVE-WRITING. This book has been written in an approachable and unpretentious style for the benefit of the budding journalists in the years to come. I strongly recommend this book to be used as a textbook for the undergraduate and postgraduate students as it covers the syllabus of several universities and I wish her all the very best for the success in her future endeavours.
