In their conversation Mark and Vikrant talk about:

  • The story of how Vikrant got started in writing
  • Spending more time in the college library than in classe
  • Starting a company, making a number of mistakes, and being left with no money and being forced to shut down the business
  • Discovering self-publishing and working hard to write and go through the publishing process
  • Creating a "done for you" publishing company to help entrepreneurs and speakers
  • Who Vikrant's ideal client is and the detailed customized process of ensuring their book is written using their insights/knowledge/experience in their unique voice
  • The packages and costs of making the book a bestseller on Amazon
  • The process of the angel writers who work closely with clients
  • Going through the book chapter by chapter with the client with unlimited revisions
  • Potential opportunities for writers to work for Bestselling Book as angel writers
  • And more...

After the interview, Mark reflects on the various needs and pathways for different types of writers and where a service like Bestsellingbook.com might fit in to that.
