The Weight of Silence: Invisible Children of India

About Me:

My areas of expertise are in editorial writing for magazines and newspapers; graphic design and writing for newsletters and other marketing collateral; editing services; white papers; web content; SEO and social media. My topic areas of specialty include business, marketing, entrepreneurship, real estate, urban living, green living, sustainability, travel, lifestyle, the arts, nonprofits, education, health and business/marketing white papers.

My degree is in Writing and Cultural Psychology from St. Edward's University. I am an active member of the following professional organizations: American Society of Journalists and Authors The Society of Professional Journalists South Asian Journalists Association International Society for Travel Writing TravelWriters.com

I recently completed a nonfiction book, The Weight of Silence: Invisible Children of India, which was published by Dogs Eye View Media in June, 2009. Foreword by Joan Collins, with endorsements by Geralyn Dreyfous (Executive Producer of Born Into Brothels), Dominique Lapierre (Author of City of Joy), Save The Children, Human Rights Watch and more.

I am also a contributing author to The Voluntary Traveler, and have written for National Geographic's GeoTourism Guides, The Seattle Times, The Austin Business Journal, Travel Intelligence, The Interational Ecotourism Society and Andrew Harper Traveler Magazine. My work has also been published at Travels.com, Intrepid Travel, Colors NW Magazine, Transitions Abroad, Washington Magazine and others.

Shelley's website
IJF asks: What have you just finished?

Besides a number of freelance magazine articles, I have just completed a project for National Geographic. NatGeo produces these Geotourism guides for various regions around North America, and their newest one is on the Central Cascades area in Oregon and Washington. The Geotourism guides focus on the aspects of a region that are important culturally, historically and geographically - such as First Nations traditions, local foods and farming practices, national parks and natural surroundings and ecology. The guides are focused on sustainable tourism that respects and protects these aspects of the world around us. For the forthcoming Central Cascades Geotourism guide, I was the co-author of the guide along with Chris Santella. This is a project I've been working on since earlier this summer, and the first proof of the guide was recently released to me.

IJF asks: What book(s) have been life changing for you?

My favorite book of all time is To Kill A Mockingbird; I doubt I have to explain why, for anyone who loves reading and characters, it is the seminal work on human motivations and relations. Atticus Finch is the definition of a true classical literary hero. Other books which have been extremely important in my life include The Great Gatsby, which is the simply perfect novel, and Les Miserables. More recent favorites include The Kite Runner and The God of Small Things.

IJF asks: Can you tell us your best fan encounter story?

I have had numerous wonderful, fulfilling moments of in-person and written testaments of people who have been affected by my book, which is extremely rewarding to me. But the one that stands out the most is an email I received from a woman named Pamela, who wrote to tell me how much the book meant to her because she had adopted her daughter from India. The daughter, Babli, had been found next to railway tracks at a train station in Mumbai, next to her mother who had been killed by the train. Babli herself had been injured, and later had to have a leg amputated. Pamela said, "Your stories are her story. Her resilience is that of the children you describe." It's really wonderful and inspiring to me to get feedback like this.
