The Literature Times: Welcome to Criticspace Journals, author. Congratulations on the release of your book. What responses are you getting from your readers? Please share your experience with this book.
Dr Nikita Gandotra: They are positive responses. It is an academic book so a reader wants latest details and protocols about the management of pregnancy related issues and I have tried to inculcate it.
The Literature Times: What encourages you to become an Author?
Dr Nikita Gandotra: The passion of reading. I read a lot and I wanted to write since long but never got time in my busy schedule. This has given me encouragement and I am planning to write on topics with which my patients can connect now.
The Literature Times: What are your favorite topics of writing? Please tell us something about your interest areas in the literature.
Dr Nikita Gandotra: I am more into academic books related to my subject ie Obstetrics and gynaecology. I want to write some exam oriented books too for postgraduates so that it can help them in their preparation.

The Literature Times: What are your achievements so far? Tell us something about your writing career.
Dr Nikita Gandotra: After my postgraduation I realized I loved teaching my juniors during my senior residency. I have been an author for various international publications and journals and have almost 30 international paper publications. I have had keen interest in paper presentations also and have won a lot of prizes too. I have cleared My CIMP exam too and am a credentialed menopause practitioner. I have done diploma in ART and Reproductive Medicine from Keil, Germany.
This is my first book and its a different feeling. I thank evincepub for the encouragement they gave me and it has given me a boost to write more. I will surely improvise on my writing skills too.

Dr Nikita Gandotra: I want to keep writing books and continue learning more.
The Literature Times: Are there any other books being worked by you? Please let us know about your future projects.
Dr Nikita Gandotra: I am writing few exam oriented books for the students as its very difficult in our profession to do end exam preparation.
The Literature Times: How you see Indian writing in the 21st century? What changes do you see in the modern way of writing? Do you feel it has been changed by the time?
Dr Nikita Gandotra: It has drastically changed. Self publishing is so easy. We have access to everything from writing to grammar to editing to cover designing. Its all revolutionized.
The Literature Times: How easy/ difficult it was for you to publish your book? What message would you like to give to budding authors?
Dr Nikita Gandotra: It was difficult but Evincepub Publishing made it a lot easier. They were always available esp. JAYA. I would like to thank her for being so patient with last minute changes too.
