Deena Guzder lives in NYC and freelances for several publications. She is finishing her nonfiction book, A Higher Calling (Chicago Review Press, 2010), and is represented by William Clark Associates literary agency. In May 2008, Guzder was the youngest student to complete a dual-degree from Columbia University’s School of Journalism and School of International & Public Affairs. As a freelance reporter, her articles have appeared in United Press International, Mother Jones, TIME Magazine, National Geographic Traveler, Indian Express, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Washington Blade, Chicago Tribune (Red Eye), New York Times (syndicate), Journal of International Affairs, Black Star News, Providence Journal, Nonviolence in the News, Arab American, Chronicle-Herald, AdBusters Magazine, Payvand Iran News, Global Exchange News, Indian American Magazine, New York Blade, Worcester Telegram & Gazette News, Arizona Central, The New York Resident, Common Dreams, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Anchorage Daily News, CounterPunch, Panache, and elsewhere. Guzder runs a fledgling nonprofit organization: Students Together in Tackling Child Hunger(S.T.I.T.C.H). Please browse the partial catalogue online. All of the profit goes to UNICEF so children, instead of corporations, benefit from inequality. The S.T.I.T.C.H project is in the process of gaining the IRS classification of 501(c)(3), a “charitable nonprofit."
