She currently is a research specialist in Doha, within the field of international education development.

Ed Balsom is a communications instructor from Southport, Newfoundland, now working with the Advanced Writing Center at College of the North Atlantic-Qatar.

Joanne Divine hails from Canada and has called Doha her home for the past four years. She is passionate about journaling while foraging far flung corners of the globe.

Wade Kearley lives at the ragged edge of the northwest Atlantic where he works as a commercial writer. He has published two books of poetry: "Drawing on Water" and "Let Me Burn like This." Nonfiction works include "The People's Road" and "Sentinels of the Strait."

Deepti Nair is a simple, fun-loving and cheerful person who just loves to read. She had a huge collection of books, which are her most prized possession. She started to write limericks and little poems at an early age. She loves writing short stories and is always looking at ways to learn and improve the art. She works as a feature writer/sub-editor with Gulf Times but her real passion is fiction. She loves to create stories and put them into words. She wants to someday publish a novel – a thriller. She knows that’s a long way off but hopes to get there someday.

Malik Peterson is an American writer living in Qatar. He has been writing casually since the 7th grade, where he began to write short stories. Later, he got into poetry after reading Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven.” You could say he was sort of mesmerized by the way he put his words together in rhyme and how he carried out the story.

Reynold Philip is from India. He is a painter and sculptor by talent who works in advertising as a creative director and who writes occasionally.
