About Author Jyoti Arora – A Life Less Ordinary
Author Jyoti Arora is known to write books that entertain while they make your think. Her writing achievements include five books, two blogs, several wins in national level blog competitions, over five years of freelance writing experience, developing books for kids, and abridging 24 famous English novels like Jane Eyre, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, etc.
By her writing and her spirit to excel despite all odds, Jyoti is proving an inspiration to many. Her life story has been featured in many newspapers and TV & radio shows. She was also one of the 100 women achievers invited as special guests to witness the Republic Day parade in 2016.
Jyoti is a postgraduate in English Literature and Applied Psychology. She started her professional life as an English tutor. After that, she worked for several years as a freelance writer and content developer. Her work as a freelance writer ranged from beginning level books for kids to re-writing Bollywood based non-fiction and spiritual non-fiction. During her years as a freelance writer, she was engaged with two publishers on long-term projects to abridge English classics. In all, she has abridged more than 30 books.
Jyoti feels that working with English classics has influenced her own writing too. In fact, some reviewers of her first novel also noted the impact of English classics in her tone of writing and mastery of language.
Besides, Jyoti loves technology and couldn’t help but try out this new road of publishing where writers were intended to use wheels of technology to propel themselves forward.
Books have always been Jyoti’s best friends. In fact, books so fascinated her from early childhood that she learned reading, by herself, even before she started going to school. And she considers herself most fortunate that she is able to pursue her dream of being a novelist and work at what she loves best.
However, if books are Jyoti’s first love, and she’s still very devoted to them, the thrilling and steadily advancing world of technology also fascinates her. As a result, one of Jyoti’s blogs is a technological blog called TechnoTreats. In 2011, a post in this blog won her the title of Samsung Mobiler when Samsung made her a part of the team of twenty bloggers chosen from all over India through a blogging competition. In this team of twenty bloggers, she was the only woman and perhaps the only one who had studied literature instead of science. As a Samsung Mobiler, Jyoti acted as the promoter and ambassador of Samsung through her blog.
Jyoti Arora is a patient of Thalassemia Major which forced her to stop going to school after class seventh. After that, she continued her studies on her own through correspondence courses. She completed her Board level examination from the Patrachaar Vidyalaya, CBSE. After that, she did English (Hons.) from Delhi University. Post that, she went on to do post-graduation in English Literature, and also in Applied Psychology from Annamalai University.
Author Jyoti Arora is currently living in Ghaziabad, India.
Her zest to overcome her medical problems and zeal to achieve success keeps her striving on with her endeavors to make her dreams come true.
