EDITORIAL
Dear Friends,
It indeed is a pleasure to present the autumn edition of ‘The Rise Insight’ with its myriad tone, texture and flavours. This compilation has made a conscious effort to explore the talents of many rising and aspiring authors, writers, poets, reviewers (both print and digital) and some worthwhile bloggers.
In pursuance of this plan, the highest standard of literary criticism has not been the criterion of selection; but some compositions, which though may not be perfect in form or linguistic technique according to the standards of English purists, have gained a place in this edition based on their sheer freshness and originality.
Literary critics, reviewers and bloggers have interestingly and carefully viewed and reviewed their work and brought out the finer points of their submissions.
You must also go through this quarter’s top releases by Evincepub. These are the rising literary stars of today destined to become the legends of tomorrow. Pleasantly so this season, women rule the roost with two out of three qualifying for the ‘Editor’s Pick.’
In particular, I would like to draw your attention to contemporary fiction— ‘Women & Their World-Tales of love, loss and survival’ by Varunika Rajput and then in another not-so-common category faction, we have THE HIDDEN GEMS by Amar Talwar. For the non-fiction aficionados, there is an interesting title by Y Srinivas, BE THIRTY AT SIXTY.
The season’s tip to all my aspiring writer friends—Most writing is a private activity but a public service. Writing is, above all, for communication, conveying ideas and feelings from one mind to another. The prosody of any language aims at genuine eloquence. Therefore, all our budding writers are advised not to resort to a high–falutin style in some misguided effort to impress the readers but rather to portray individuality in their writing.
Before you flick the pages ahead, I need to let you know of my indebtedness to those who have contributed to shaping this edition, whose contribution, though latent, has rendered an indelible impression on this compilation. Specifically, I take this opportunity to thank our contributors profusely, without whose support we could not have envisaged the overwhelming response we receive each season for our endeavour.
It is hoped that every reader of this edition will find something conformable to his taste in the variety of its content.
