Ms Nehemiah has written 20 fantasy, adventure, and humour books. She specializes in children stories and wishes that parents would indulge and support their children when they wish to read books they're interested in. Ms Nehemiah discussed her numerous stories and her journey of writing her books in the session. She gave some important tips on how to start writing a story, developing and deciding on characters, plots, themes, and other details of the stories. She quoted- When you start thinking about an idea, don't put breaks on your mind, just put it all down. She encouraged free-thinking and penning ideas down when one thinks of something as an idea thought is never an idea wasted.
