Soumitro D.

I have been freelancing remotely from 2002 onwards. Before that I was a senior journalist with two of the leading English-language dailies based out of Kolkata, India. My typing speed is around 60 words per minute. I am meticulous and accurate. I may be new to Freelancer.com, but not new at all to remote projects. I had an almost a 100% all-5 record on what was then Elance (and is now Upwork). I have two degrees in Literature, a Master's in Comparatively Literature from Jadavpur University, Calcutta and a 3rd cycle doctorate from the University of Paris 7 in modern French literature. I was good at debates and English-language theatre in Bombay where I was a graduate student from 1975-79. My English skills are formidable. I am a published author of fiction and currently have a novel under consideration with Harper Collins.
