May 8 in New Delhi, India First-time author Simran Dudeja presents “Like A Summer Song,” a moving coming-of-age story that deftly negotiates the complexities of life, love, and self-discovery, in a literary journey marked by turns and unflinching resolve.


Simran is a recent addition to the literary scene, having started her first book during the difficult lockdown days of 2020. Writing gave her comfort, so she began the first drafts of “Like A Summer Song,” piecing together a flurry of feelings and experiences.

At first scheduled to be published by a well-known publisher in 2021, Simran experienced a devastating setback because of creative differences. She temporarily put her writing goals on hold and welcomed 2022 as a year of travel and a career change from management consulting with BCG to product marketing in tech startups. She went back to work on her book in 2023, revising passages and starting fresh talks with publishers. Thanks to her prior writing community connections with Hubhawks, Kevin, and Vini, the trip brought her to NuVoice Press.


Although she had a few rejections along the way to publication, she accepted each one as a chance to reroute rather than a setback. Her book’s major theme of destiny is reflected in real life in her unflinching faith in her calling in the face of adversity.


There were difficulties in juggling her literary ambitions with a thriving corporate career. Weekends became her writing retreats; some evenings she would go from making presentations for her day job to writing engrossing stories till midnight. While pursuing career success, she found the mental clarity required for creative exploration through writing trips and sporadic vacations to beautiful places.
Simran is already working on her next book, which explores the challenges of contemporary dating, changing dynamics in relationships, and the pressures that modern women experience in their quest of love and self-discovery, as “Like A Summer Song” finds its way onto the shelves and readers’ hearts.
Redefining modern Indian romance, fusing poetry and prose, creating real characters, and satisfying the needs of the Instagram generation for real-life vulnerability and connections are her goals.


The book “Like a Summer Song” will snag at your emotions, cause you to consider your own path, and make you feel as though you just had a cup of hot chocolate in the cold. The intricacy of human emotions and Simran’s deft narrative make this debut book a must-read.


Similar to How the Summer Song, a coming-of-age novel published in collaboration with Nu Voice Press, introduced storyteller and poet Simran Dudeja to the literary world. Her background is as an engineer who became a marketer and has worked in management consulting and product marketing.
Along with advocating for mental health, Simran is a fervent yoga practitioner and spoken word poet. She discusses books, poetry, spirituality, health, growth mindset, and a host of other ideas that pique her interest.
