Anabelle Colaco

I’m a content strategist, editor, and writer with over a decade of experience across journalism, digital content, and ghostwriting.

I started my career at The Times of India, India’s leading English-language daily, where I wrote and edited extensively in British English. I worked on front-page stories, authored two columns, and was the go-to editor for rewriting hard news and feature pieces. The role built a strong foundation in editorial judgement, clarity, and working under pressure.

I later moved into digital and brand content as a Content Strategist at nearbuy (formerly Groupon India), where I led content across web, app, and marketing channels, focusing on campaigns, user engagement, and platform content.

More recently, I worked as a News Editor with International News Editing, a Chicago-based organisation, handling high-volume content for global publications across the Middle East and Southeast Asia. I currently work with Big News Network, where I select and edit top global stories, rewriting and refining them for digital platforms while ensuring accuracy, consistency, and readability.

Alongside this, I work as a ghostwriter and consultant, collaborating with founders and CXOs on books and long-form content across areas such as careers, investing, and public policy. I’ve also contributed to research reports and content projects for organisations including UN Volunteers and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).

My strengths lie in simplifying complex ideas, maintaining a consistent voice, and creating content that is both clear and engaging. I’m comfortable working across formats, from structured reports to digital content and narrative-driven long-form writing, and adapting to different audiences and platforms.
