“Embarking on a journey to sculpt ideas with words” 

I am often asked – how did I start writing or understand that it can be a career choice? I ponder back to when I was a dedicated academic soul and tapped on the keyboard only to write a research paper. Writing as a career? Pfft, that was never even an option.  

But I guess life had other plans. It took an unexpected detour and flung me headfirst into this journey of being a wordsmith. And you know what? I couldn’t be happier! 

It All Started With My Love for Reading

My parents have always been academicians, and people thought I would turn out the same. The apple didn’t fall very far from the tree. My love for writing comes from a deep-rooted love for reading novels from a young age, and I thank my parents for filling my little library. I not only had my fair share of books, but I also had the chance to delve into their childhood books. 

I started writing with quotes at first during my graduation, and eventually, those quotes transcended into little paragraphs and took the form of poems. I could write poems whenever I was deeply moved by something. My writing was emotional, and it showed.  

During the lockdown, I came across various job openings for content writers. Mustering up some courage, I applied for many and got rejected by most of them. But one application came through! And in no time, I was writing buying guides for my very first internship.  

I realised I enjoyed it a lot; researching something new daily and jotting down points to make the reader’s job easier. I bagged another internship a few months later, where I strategised content ideas and developed content. However, I yearned to work with like-minded individuals and share my love for all things content. 

Working as a Content Writer at WrittenlyHub

My dreams became a reality when I cleared my interviews with WrittenlyHub and joined as a junior content writer. I was greeted with warmth and enthusiasm from the moment I stepped into the office.  

I remember being asked what I desired from my first job during the interview. My answer was an office with a work culture that does not pressure its employees and helps them grow at the same time. 

So, if you are wondering if I got that, then yes! WrittenlyHub is the perfect place to grow as a writer in the best environment. The work culture at WrittenlyHub is nothing short of inspiring, with a perfect blend of professionalism and camaraderie.

My journey in WrittenlyHub has thus far been filled with learning and growth, sprinkled with fun in every scoop. The company has been a catalyst for both my professional and personal growth. As a WHustler, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients, each with unique requirements and expectations. This exposure has expanded my horizons and refined my writing skills across various niches, including technology, education, lifestyle, and pop culture. 

Also, regular constructive feedback from managers and editors has helped me identify my strengths and weaknesses.  

Lessons I Have Learnt as a WHustler

Since I started working here, I have imbibed several significant lessons that have helped me improve my content writing: 

• I understand the value of timely and constructive feedback, which has become the stepping stone to my improvement. 

• Team synergy is something that can positively enhance workplace environment. It makes the office not only fun but a safe space as well.
