Sir, the phrases 'after writing the book' and 'while talking over the phone' do not begin in a present participle and you said for a phrase to be a present participle phrase it needs to start with a present participle. These sentences do not start with a present participles but you said in this video that they are present participles. How though? Please clarify. Thank you.

[@EnglishWithAshish]

A sentence having a dangling modifier generally starts with a participle phrase (both present and past). But it can be other modifiers too. Please go through this article: englishwithashish.com/dangling-modifier-examples/
