AUTHOR’S BIO:
Priya is a poet, a blogger and IT professional. She was consistently in the top two during her engineering studies and is currently employed in a prestigious organization in Pune.
However, there is something that hasn't given her the joy of accomplishment so far. She has been writing heartfelt shayari, poems, and short stories as a hobby since she was a child. She was in 9th standard when she published her first poem on ‘Friendship’ published in Lokmat newspaper on 14th april 2007.
Why do we have to keep our hobbies as hobbies for the rest of our lives? There is always something that makes you happy on the inside and gives you a sense of fulfillment; that is what writing meant for Priya. She is a person who believes in respecting the inner beauty and beautiful hearts of individuals rather than superficial outer appearances. That inspired her to write a story about a girl who is kind at heart but faces struggles in life.
1. Who and what inspired you to write?
I guess I have been composing small poems since 8th standard. I didn't even know that we call it a poem at that time. One day, during summer, I was sleeping on the terrace with my parents and I was reciting some funny rhyming lines to them. And my father said, I think you will become a poet once you grow up. Basically it's my father behind all this, who recognized and inspired me to write more.
2. What challenges did you face while writing and getting published?
Getting a story idea is easy, however putting the whole story on paper is a completely different thing. You have to keep pulling up your socks throughout the writing journey. And getting the right publisher for your book is an adventure. But it's all learning.
3. How did you come to know about the literary agency THE BOOK BAKERS?
I was done with my final edits , was looking for an editor online and I came across a well known Priyakshi book editor. She recommended me The Book Bakers, and then I got my way.
4. How did THE BOOK BAKERS help you and what would you like to say about them?
We all know about the publishing industry, is scattered one. The Book Bakers basically helped me not to get lost in the publishing jungle and lead me to the right light. I would only say, Suhail and The Book Bakers got my book a Home, that’s it.
5. How do you see literary success for yourself?
For me, getting my book out with my name printed on it, is success. Because manifesting it and making it happen it is a part of success to me.
Of course sales, and book success does matter and I am sure this will happen eventually.
6. When can we expect your next book?
My next book would be a thriller only. Its about a world where everything is roaming around social media. How much real and reel is it, that is the story. Hopefully it will be out next year. Finger crossed.
7. Any message or tips for aspiring authors?
I know, It's tough to hold onto, but trust me you will definitely love the result you will get as compared to the time you waited to make it happen.
