Puja Guha draws upon her experiences from traveling and living around the world in her writing. She has lived in Kuwait, Toronto, Paris, London, and several American cities including New York, Washington DC, and San Francisco. Each of these places and many more show up in her writing as her travel to places such as Mozambique, South Africa, Vietnam, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Guinea-Bissau inspire more and more story ideas. She also uses her experience working in international finance and development with the World Bank and Oliver Wyman to delve into global political themes in both her thrillers and literary fiction.

Over the course of getting that first book edited and out, I had to do a lot of reflecting on the process that worked best for me for writing and revisions. I finally got to what works really well which is to write 2000 words a day, 5 days a week, and quickly get to a first draft. When I first started, I used to skip outlining all together, but now for my fourth book, I did try a high level outline, which I think was quite helpful. I'll probably continue doing that, but I'm sure that my writing process will continue to evolve over time!(less)

Writer’s block may be a phenomenon that is only associated with the writing community. In reality, it’s something that each and every person grapples with, often on a daily basis. To put things simply, writer’s block is a form of procrastination. I deal with it by trying not to give it power - every day during the work week I set a target for the minimum amount I need to write in number of words. On a hectic day that minimum is 600-700 words, but on a regular one that minimum is 1800-2000 words. No matter how much I want to procrastinate, I push past it by making sure that I reach that target. I often end up writing more, but setting the minimum makes sure that I move the story along. (less)
