Speakout

All great adventures start with small steps initiated

with arduous humble aspirations.

Speakout is the brainchild of Mr. Ziya Qureshi

and was initiated in Aug, 2016. The idea was to

congregate all writers on a single platform. While a

lot of people write to express not all are able to

present themselves in front of others. Speakout

encourages writers to share their work and ensures

that it reaches out to people where it is recognised,

appreciated and acknowledged.

We started the journey with a simple post on

Facebook, inviting novice writers to share their

writings for online publication. Since then Speakout

has never missed a chance to get the recognition

that every writer deserves.

As an organization Speakout is now boosting

morale of budding artists in any form and

expression of thoughts at different platforms. We

have not only provided Speakout as a platform for

all kind of writings, but also assist and encourage

them with their works.

Workshops and Open Mic Sessions have been

added to Speakout‟s badge now. We have

conducted a workshop on Writing Skills in Graphic

Era University, Dehradun and Open Mic Sessions at

Bangalore and Lucknow till date.

Speakout has published more than 500 writings

of approximately 300 writers across the globe, both

offline and online. We publish our writings on our

Speakout page on facebook and Instagram, where

the writings get acknowledged by our community.

Now we are going ahead with offline publication of

writings in a form of book.

Editors Note

This book brings together an amalgamation of

exquisite writings. These writings have been

carefully selected and brought together from

different writers across location and have no

restrictions on their style, format or language.

The motto is to encourage expression of

thoughts in any possible creative way. Through this

effort Speakout want to boost creative thought

process and writing, especially among writers who

do not pursue writing as a profession. We want to

tap this creativity among writers and bring them

together.

Our writing contributors include people from

all the genres. They are students, working

professionals and entrepreneurs. This contributes to

the USP of this book. We have writers and

creativity across varied sections. What should you

look forward to, is the ride through this roller

coaster in which the next thrill cannot be

anticipated.

This book will take you on an enthralling

journey encompassing the varied emotions of life in

its innovative projection by our writers. It gives us

immense pleasure to present these articulate words

in our very first edition and to envision such variety

of imagination and expression on a single platform.

Ambika Solanki, Dehradun

When she was hurt, he was there to comfort her.

When she cried the night, he soaked her tears.

When she needed hugs, he gave himself.

When she shared her deepest secrets,

He heard her quietly.

Oh how she longed for him

to come alive, Her little pillow!

Amulya Bhardwaj, Bareilly

Your Little Girl

For when I cried, and was held by none.

When I felt alone, when I felt so done.

For when I fell from the cliff of life,

When I felt hurt, drowned in strife.

For when I felt lost in woods so dark,

And thunder threatened me with its spark.

For when I needed a hug of care,

I searched for your arms, but found them nowhere

No matter how much, Dad, your little girl grew,

This distance between usmakes me miss you !
