My favourite authors are John Grisham and Jeffrey Archer. Grisham rapidly established himself and now completely owns the legal space of fiction writing, something I want to do in financial space. I like Archer because he keeps his readers engaged: every chapter is a page turner, and he keeps his writing simple. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
If you see in all my books, I have two key intentions. One is obviously to entertain and make sure that the reader has a good reading experience. I also try to write on subjects that nobody has dealt with before to make my works different from other page turners. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
When James Bond presses the watch and the car explodes, the writer doesn’t go into the science of it. One should leave it to the leap of faith. I have tried to explain as much as possible, and what I can’t, I have left it to people’s imagination. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
Corporate career is like my wife, and writing is my girlfriend. My priority is the first but enjoy doing the second, as I have taken to writing as a stress-beater. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
Any author gets inspired by the experiences and events that happen to him or his immediate circle. While that’s where the seed or the idea germinates, by the end of the story, it accounts for hardly anything in the book. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
I write about banking because it is something I’m familiar with. Also, I don’t have to do much research on it. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
It is important to send your work to as many publishers as possible. For every one publisher who may show interest in your work, there will be at least five who will reject you. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
Generally, people who crib about corporate politics are, more often than not, those who’ve played the game but lost it. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
While a lot of management development books try to teach you a lesson or give you a scenario of what corporate culture and work practices are about, they’re theoretical and written in a sermonizing way. Most people don’t get past the first chapter, and they just look nice on the bookshelf. Ravi Subramanian Read Quote
