Shashank Chourey is a budding author, writer, and filmmaker hailing from the heart of India, Madhya Pradesh. His journey into writing began at the age of 16, fueled by the idea of transforming reality into fiction. He writes about the things he couldn’t experience in real life, weaving them into stories that resonate with emotions and imagination. From being a boy who once dreaded finding a novel in his high school syllabus to becoming the author of one during his graduation—Offline Hug—everything has changed for him. Driven by his overthinking mind, writing is the epitome of breathing with a single goal: to share all the untold stories swirling in his head. He writes to express the feelings he couldn’t experience. Offline Hug is his debut novel, following two unfinished works that paved the way for this one. This book is not just a story; it’s a reflection of dreams, emotions, and the journey of turning an idea into reality.
