Joel Savage is a freelance writer, who enjoys the
challenges of creativity and adventure. Growing up in an environment he sees
the experiences of hard living and suffering, deepens his understanding and
knowledge to start writing. His work is considered to be a pure genre of creative
nonfiction.
He studied at Ebenezer Secondary School and Accra High School and later studied
at the Ghana Institute of Journalism in Accra. His first book “The Writer Died’’
which focuses on his father’s childhood and adult experiences reveals the
ordeal of a neglected child.
His second book “Road of Agony” reflects on his life as he
struggles to take care of the welfare of his family after the untimely death of
his father.
As a passionate writer, Joel records his life experiences as a
roofless illegal immigrant sleeping at the central train station in Rome and
shifting camp to Amsterdam, only to be incarcerated in his third memoir
“Overseas Chronicle-The Rome and Amsterdam Experience.”
Leaving his wife and a year-old child in Africa for nine years, they finally joined him in Europe. But the happiness of the family turned into a nightmare as his wife was diagnosed with an aggressive type of breast cancer. Those days of sorrow are recorded in Joel’s fourth book “Heart of Endurance.”
Having dedicated his life to writing non-fiction books Joel’s amassed experience and skills from previous publications enabled him to write his fifth book "Little Boygium-Wonderful Experience" about his life in Antwerp, as he tries to integrate as a forklift driver, whilst he writes his books between scorn, underestimation, and racism.
“AIDS Doesn’t Discriminate, So Why Do We?” is Joel’s sixth book. The book which is dedicated to HIV/AIDS victims worldwide eliminates the fears of caring for such patients and brings the human side to the forefront.
The writer, a Belgian national and member of the 'Flemish
Journalists Association currently lives in Antwerp with his wife and three
children.
