Jasveer Singh Dangi

I write to entertain, not to set literary benchmarks.

I am an eternal Storyteller – Long before I became an author, storytelling defined my approach as a facilitator—it’s how I connect, communicate, and inspire change.

I’m Jasveer Singh Dangi, a vibrant voice in contemporary literature—a Canadian author of Indian descent whose work is deeply shaped by my roots in India and my life in Toronto. I often call myself an “accidental author,” because my journey from simple journaling to becoming a multi-genre storyteller has been as unexpected as it has been inspiring and heartfelt.

I am an active member of the Writers’ Community of York Region (WCYR) as well as a contributor to the Great Creators’ Cooperative Canada (GCCC).

📖 From Journals to Published Memoirs

I began writing in 2018, transforming a 200,000‑word childhood journal into my debut memoir, Version One and a Half (Version 1 ½). I lacked formal training or a voracious reading habit; instead, my notebook of memories became the foundation of my literary path—encouraged by my late friend, author Chetan Singh (RIP).

Since 2018, I have authored 14 books and co-authored 2 anthologies, showcasing my versatility across various genres. My notable works are listed on the Books page.

Bridges Between Cultures

I was born in Nilokheri, Haryana, and the rhythms of my Indian upbringing—the landscapes, family stories, and festivals—continue to shape my writing. I love bringing those memories to life while grounding them in my Canadian experience. My stories travel across continents, blending Indian mythology and folklore with the everyday moments I encounter here—from bustling city streets to quiet, maple-lined parks.

I started his journey in the world of cinema as a Producer of a short film titled ‘Yes Sir’. The film, themed around caste bias, has been quite well received and has been featured in more than 35 film festivals worldwide.

My literary venture, HSD Ascent Services, is gaining momentum, rapidly promoting books through its powerful marketing platform, LitLinks by HSD Ascent Services.
