43: Nisha Tuli: Crowning Your Own Success on Romantasy, and Owning Your Author Journey

This week, Sarah and Emily welcome bestselling romantasy author Nisha Tuli for an inspiring dive into building an authentic, sustainable career from indie to traditional publishing. Nisha opens up about her experience as an Indie author who has a South Asian heritage but also the fears of being boxed in, and how she hustled to grow her audience. We explore how she’s navigated the explosion of romantasy, the pressures and perks of genre labels, and the business mindset that helps her stay focused amid the noise, including switching agents and taking on multiple projects to grow. From having a loyal readership to branching out in adult, and now YA, as well as multi-genre stories that blend romance, magic, and diverse FMC’s, Nisha shares really valuable wisdom for any writer ready to grow. Nisha TuliWebsiteInstagramTikTokBecca Syme: Strengths For Writers 101 Books Mentioned - We strongly encourage that listeners purchase these titles from their favorite indie bookstoreNot Safe for Work by Nisha TuliTrial of the Sun Queen by Nisha TuliHeart of Night and Fire by Nisha TuliWicked is the Reaper by Nisha TuliLove is a War Song by Danica NavaEmily Varga's booksSarah Mughal Rana's books Come back on the first Thursday of every month for a brand new episode of On the Write Track Pod.
