Mentor: Soumya

Picture

About Soumya

I'm a featured fantasy writer on Wattpad, where I love to write stories with flawed characters, intricate plots, and slow burn romances.  I love taking months, even years, to flesh out long tales with details hidden between the lines. My magnum opus, Crown of Glass, took me three long years to write - before ending up on the shortlist for the 2018 Wattys!
By night, I'm a writer with a deep rooted love for medieval and historical fiction. By day, I'm an engineering student and an overzealous drinker of coffee. See what I've been upto on Wattpad @rubyruins. You can catch up with me on Instagram @inktragedies or drop me a personal message on my main account, @soumya.parekh!​

Mentor Statement

As a mentor, I'd love to be paired with someone who's writing fantasy, mythology or retellings. It's the primary genre in which I read and write, so I can help them flesh out grey characters, embellish their plots, add hidden details and pacing to the story, I've learned a few tricks of the trade over years, and I'd love to share them with someone who's hardworking and determined not to give up!
I'm open to reading their work, giving them my insights and polish it to become better. I might not have the time to edit it, though - but I can give constructive criticism about places where there is scope for improvement!
