Interviewed on Packt Authors site

Do you dream of writing a book? A technical one? Three years ago, I was creating my future plan and writing 6 books was one of the top items in the list.

Today, I have two books already in print and have learned a lot on the way. One of the lessons is to get the right publisher. I am fortunate to have Packt as the publisher of both my books – Mobile Web Development and Open Source Content Management Systems: Beginners Guide.

A wannabe author will have a lot of questions. They may include:

  • How is the overall experience of writing a book?
  • During the writing process, what issues/ difficulties I may expect? And how to deal with them?
  • Does writing a book overshadow personal life?
  • I have a full time job, how do I manage my time?
  • What benefits can writing a book bring to my specialist area?

Want to hear my story? Packt took my interview and asked me these questions. Go ahead, and read my answers to these questions! At the end, I have valuable tips from my own experiences too!
