In Conversation with Surabhi Kaushik on Writers Beyond Borders and Much More!

Meet An Extraordinary Woman - Surabhi Kaushik

“Writing has been my passion and profession for over 2 decades now. “

Surabhi Kaushik is a professional writer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She and her husband and son moved to the US in 2105 from Mumbai, India.

We met by chance, as fans of Author Alka Joshi, and I knew Surabhi’s story had to be shared with my listeners!

Surabhi doesn’t have a work visa for the USA yet, but she gives of her time and talent and serves the community as a volunteer. She initiated a writing group—Write Like You Mean It, at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library, and she conducts writing workshops in other Charlotte, NC libraries.

Surabhi led writing programs and assisted hosting events at the library for five years. In that time, she logged well over 500 hours of service. Kaushik shared, “Volunteering at the Library has been an enjoyable learning experience for me because it has given me a space to showcase my talents, meet new people and be part of a welcoming community. The writing group has given me a sense of belonging which was important to me as a newbie immigrant.”

In November 2020, Surabhi received the North Carolina Governor’s Award for Volunteer Service.  

Her work has been published in several magazines and on websites in India and the US. Some of her writing may be found on India Currents . Check out her writing talent on her blog Writers Mind.Surabhi .
