My guest today is Taran Matharu, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author with over 3 million copies sold. Taran is also co-founder of a small publishing house, Portal Books.
Today, we talk about:
how Taran got his start on Wattpad during NaNoWriMo, and then landed multiple book deals with traditional publishers,
advice for anyone participating in a novel writing challenge this month,
why he decided to start his own publishing house
what he's learned about the book industry since becoming a publisher
how he balances his work as a writer and as a publisher,
and so much more.
I hope you enjoy the show!
