7. How To Get Published In India With Meghna Pant, Author and Journalist
Aishwarya talks to award-winning author Meghna Pant about the writer’s perspective on publishing and why she wrote her bestselling and path breaking book ‘How To Get Published in India’.
Meghna Pant has published 6 books (novels, short story collections and nonfiction) since 2012! In 2019, she published her iconic publishing guidebook, ‘How To Get Published In India’, with essays from authors like Meena Kandasamy and Shobhaa De, and publishing experts like literary agent Mita Kapur and book reviewer Vivek Tejuja.
Meghna shares some of her rookie mistakes as a newbie author: like not understanding contracts and planning too many book launches! She and Aishwarya discuss how self-publishing has become popular during the pandemic and why every author should learn how to market themselves. They bond over their love for feminist books. How did she turn a screenplay into a book? Why did she retain her audio rights? Tune in for some fun anecdotes, like how Durjoy Datta has his own fanbase!
