Author of For My Sister
Q. Your new book, For My Sister, comes out this October. What inspired you to write it?
A:
While the novel is a work of fiction, its themes and sources of inspiration are real. The narrative draws on my own experiences of growing up in Indian culture, and my philanthropy work with underserved women and children around the world, to paint an authentic picture of what human trafficking victims in India go through, and the coping mechanisms they adopt to retain their humanity, their spirit, and to survive long enough for a chance at freedom. It is also based in the bond of twin sisters, echoing the longstanding bonds I share with my own siblings, especially my sister.
We publish two ways.
Traditional Publishing
- This option is normally only for seasoned writers (with or without an agent) with superb work and a verifiable track record of sales and marketing success. The term traditional means that the author will not pay for any development costs or fees, and will typically be offered an advance payment on royalties.
Hybrid/Co-Publishing
- This option is best for emerging writers with high-quality work desiring a professional-level publishing experience. Writers accepted into our Emerging Author Program are positioned to land a traditional deal on subsequent books. Those best suited for this program are motivated and collaborative, and receive the same level of editing, creative development and marketing as our traditional authors.
