Jyoti, a story teller and writer since her young days, studied creative writing at
Lehman College, which is part of the CUNY system in New York city. She worked as
a technical writer and managed a publication department in a software company till
she decided to get back to her passion - writing and working with children.
She started Lekha Publishers LLC to market books for children. In addition
to having received praise for the stories and book that she has published, she has
also enjoyed being a mentor to middle and high school students. She did this as
part of her duties as editor of a popular children’s online magazine(now in print)
and through YMCA Citizen Schools where she led the 'Write On" program for
middle school students. She is now the editor-in-chief of the Balagokulam
magazine, which focuses on Hindu children living outside India.
Lekha School of Creative Writing started as an experiment in the summer of 2006 when a friend asked Jyoti to guide her daughter
and a few others in the art of writing. The experience that summer made her decide to start the writing school as a subsidiary of
her publishing company. The workshop during the summer, continued to grow into after-school classes and camps during
President’s week, spring break, and the summer of 2007. This year the school is hiring experts in the field of creative writing to
guide the increasing number of students.
In the past year three of her students have won prestigious awards in story writing and other expressional works. Now She is
proud to announce that five of her students are working towards publishing fictional works in various genre. These books will be
published this year under the imprint Lekha KidsWrite.
