Sonya is a former entertainment reporter turned communications professional who has now followed her dream of telling South Asian character-driven stories as an Author.

Singh is also making history as one of the first South Asian screenwriters for the Hallmark Channel with her holiday movie tentatively titled Christmas Spice romcom, coming this fall.
