Many of us secretly wish to write a book someday.

What is the process of finding an idea, writing a book and the steps to get it published?

Can you manage being an author while having a full time job?

We’re breaking the dreamy myths and covering the bitter sweet realities of being a published author.

Our guest is Ms. Vibha Batra an author, graphic novelist, advertising consultant, poet, lyricist, translator, playwright, scriptwriter, speaker, and creative writing mentor. She has published 19 books, written across multiple genres, and worked with popular publishing houses including Rupa, Penguin & Harper Collins. As an advertising professional, she has worked with organizations like ICICI Bank, Aditya Birla Group, etc. She was one of the 25 authors from 5 continents to headline the Sharjah Children's Literature Festival 2022. 

Hear her talk about:

(02:15) - Starting something vs getting it done; the fear of failing publicly as a motivator to finish

(05:00) - The aha moment and the first idea for the book

(07:30) - Sending the proposal for your book to publishers- the process and steps

(08:30) - How to carve a career and monetize writing?

(10:00) - Finding your calling and finding your why

(11:30) - The voice in your head that cannot be ignored; the flow and rivers of joy

(12:00) - Career options as a writer + dealing with criticism

(14:30) - How stories and society share a deep relationship?

(15:40) - Breaking the process – research and finding themes as an author

(17:00) – Managing a day job and a life as an author
