==Books==
Ghosh's first major book was 'Frontier Travails: Northeast - The Politics of a Mess', published in 2001.

He is co-author of the 2014 non-fiction title ''[[Gas Wars|Gas Wars: Crony Capitalism and the Ambanis]]'', co-authored with [[Paranjoy Guha Thakurta]] and Jyotirmoy Chaudhuri, which examined alleged irregularities of prices of natural gas in the Indian market. [[Reliance Industries Limited]], one of India's major conglomerates which is also involved in oil and gas exploration and production, sent a legal notice to Guha Thakurta, Ghosh and Chaudhuri for alleged defamation through this book.<ref>{{cite news|title=RIL sends notice to Gas Wars authors|url=http://www.thehindu.com/business/ril-sends-notice-to-gas-wars-authors/article5923679.ece|accessdate=18 June 2015|newspaper=[[The Hindu]]|date=18 April 2014}}</ref>

In May 2016, he published the non-fiction work ''[[Sue the messenger|Sue the Messenger: How legal arm-twisting by corporates is shackling reportage and undermining democracy in India]]''. Ghosh was the lead author of this book, and Guha Thakurta the co-author. The book dealt with corporate [[Strategic lawsuit against public participation|strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs)]] against writers and journalists in India.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.authorsupfront.com/messenger.htm | title='About Sue the Messenger | work=Authors Upfront | accessdate=10 May 2016 | author=Authors Upfront}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.suethemessenger.com | title='About Sue the Messenger | accessdate=10 May 2016 | author=Official website}}</ref> Speaking about the book which establishes a link between politics and corporate crime, Ghosh told India Legal magazine, "If you stop journalists from doing their work and writing about corruption, the public will be robbed of their right to know. Ultimately, it is the democratic process that takes a hit. SLAPP suits are intended to have a chilling effect on others, apart from persecuting journalists who are doing their job."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://indialegalonline.com/slapp-attack/ | title='SLAPP Attack!| date=16 May 2016| accessdate=6 October 2016 | author=Menon, Ramesh and Ajith Pillai}}</ref>
