We are excited to present our first author selected for traditional publishing — author Heena Rathore P.

We opened our submissions late last year and received a total of 16 manuscripts for consideration. All were good, but of course, there was one that stood out — Deceived. It’s been 6 months since we signed an agreement with Heena and now we are really close to our mutually decided publishing date. (And not only this, we have signed a 5-books contract with her, snatching the opportunity to publish her next 4 books as well!)

The final edits will be over in a month and we’ll be commencing with our pre-release social media campaigns from November. We’ve delayed the book’s release because we have decided to put up the book on NetGalley for at least a month in order to provide extra exposure to this very deserving book.

The cover release is set for 15th November. We have already started contacting reviewers regarding ARC reviews and author interviews/guest posts. If you want to join our Reviews Team then fill out this form.

Emily Green, our main publicist, has been assigned to author Heena, hence, all the requests related to the author interview, book reviews, author spotlight/guest posts and other press-release related information will be handled by Emily on behalf of Heena.
If you want to get in touch with our author or intend to participate in anyone of the things mentioned above, you can contact Emily here: emilygreenpup@gmail.com

About the author:

Author Heena Rathore P.

Heena Rathore Pardeshi is a novelist, novel critic, as well as a book reviewer. She is also an ace social media strategist and an acclaimed YouTube Podcaster. An award-winning writer, she has won several NaNoWriMos and JuNoWriMos since 2014. .
Heena also manages her own book club, RMFAO on Goodreads.com.

A fan of crime-thrillers, apocalyptic fiction and slasher movies and series, she draws inspiration from the works of legendary writers such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz and Sidney Sheldon.

Heena is twenty-five years old and lives in Pune, India with her beloved husband, Vishal — a successful entrepreneur, in a house full of books, music, and love. Heena passionately creates vivid fictional worlds; some to read and cherish, and some to live in.
