BOUND TESTIMONIAL

Thank you, Tara and Aishwarya for the session! It had some great takeaways. I found the chance to get personal feedback amazing, along with the tips and tricks mentioned. I'm working as a software engineer at BNP Paribas currently but working on my writing and my book since I was a graduate student.
Jas HariaSoftware Engineer
I found the workshop quite useful as I had no prior knowledge of how publishing works - the concept of query letters, the importance of a body of work, how publishers decide what to commission, etc. It’s great to get a sense of this from people working in the space.
Ila ReddyNonprofit Consultant and Content Writer at Quilt.AI
The sessions were really amazing and I never thought that there would be/could be a session where someone could actually tell you about publishing. Most of the information was new for me now I actually know how I can go further and use other resources, thanks so much Tara and Aishwarya. This workshop was a unique experience. I had very little information about traditional publishing and other than the technicalities I really appreciate the part about the thought process of editors.
