From Idea to Book to The Today Show with Alison Espach, New York Times Bestselling Author
Q: What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Trust your instincts and don't rely too heavily on others' opinions of your work.
From Idea to Book to The Today Show with Alison Espach, New York Times Bestselling Author
Q: When did you decide to become a writer on the timeline compared to when you decided to teach creative writing?
Teaching came later after she decided to pursue writing professionally.
From Wattpad to Over 3 Million Books Sold, with New York Times Bestselling Author Taran Matharu
Q: What is your recommendation for writers in terms of where they should seek to be published for their work?
I can't recommend a right way... some books will be better at a traditional publisher, some books will be better at a small press.
From Wattpad to Over 3 Million Books Sold, with New York Times Bestselling Author Taran Matharu
Q: Can you explain to an uninformed audience member like myself, there's traditional publishing, there's self-publishing, which is sometimes called indie publishing, and then there's like small presses, which is like what Portal Books is?
I would consider us to provide pretty much all the services of a traditional publisher.
From Wattpad to Over 3 Million Books Sold, with New York Times Bestselling Author Taran Matharu
Q: Do you have any advice now, since that's how you kind of got your start, for anyone who wants to begin a novel or is working on something new?
Setting a daily target is super helpful... always force yourself to write a little bit.
